Ruddy Turnstones at McKinley Beach in Milwaukee County Wisconsin on May 25, 2023

One of my birding stops today gave nice views of 4 Ruddy Turnstones all males.  They were found at the far north end of McKinley Beach, some call it pebble beach. Also present was one Semipalmated Plover, a male. While I was there they were flushed a couple of times by walkers but always returned to the beach. I caught a little bit of their feeding action of finding things to eat that had washed up on the beach. It was a beautiful morning with full sun and a good breeze off the lake, almost felt cold at times, temps were around 60 degrees. Images were taken on May 25, 2023.
