Birding Lakeshore State Park this morning I was surprised to come across a Dunlin. The bird was in nonbreeding plumage so it was not as colorful as if it were spring, but still a beautiful bird. It was feeding on the east shore of the island. It appeared it was finding plenty to eat and moving around on a few of the rocks. It was a cold morning out with snow flurries earlier in the morning, temps around 34 with a good cloud cover. Images were taken on October 26, 2020.

A beautiful shorebird!
Something on the bill…
Down into the water for something to eat…
Looking for things to eat…
Looking for things to eat…
It seemed like it was finding plenty…

Wow, great photos of a very special bird Jim. Thanks!
Brilliant capture of the subtle beauty of this bird.
Your pictures are always a joy to view and you always capture the fun action clicks that bring a chuckle. Ooops!
