I set up a trail camera a day or two after the original pic. Got some video, but none of the big leap. Plenty of wood ducks hanging around. Today I went to pull the camera and found 1 egg left in the box and momma walking her ducklings across the field to get away from me. I think I...

Well so much for my first shorebird.....what a guy to follow! Great work this month everyone. Here's an American Oystercatcher I did for a Coastal Conservations Association ( CCA MD) event tonight. It's hollow with an oyster shell rolling around in there. Last time I shook it it either...
