Among some Native American tribes, particularly those in the southeastern United States, the Roseate Spoonbill is revered as a guardian of the waterways. Its presence is believed to signify healthy and vibrant wetlands. Legends often depicted the spoonbill as a protector, using its sweeping bill to guard and preserve the purity of the waters.

The ocean asks for nothing but those who stand by her shores gradually attune themselves to her rhythm.

American oystercatchers on the beaches of the Rockaways in Queens #NewYorkCity
.
Last Sunday was #WorldShorebirdsDay so on this #WildlifeWednesday I’ll spotlight the American oystercatcher, a boldly patterned shorebird w red-yellow eyes and a vivid red-orange bill, it survives almost exclusively on shellfish.
.
Every summer, a lot of these oystercatchers and other shorebirds nest on the Rockaways. Was excited to see an oystercatcher chick during one of my visits! Swipe to see it!
.
I also came across the eggs of 6U and 7U, two banded oystercatchers that has returned to nest in the Rockaways for several years now. This year they have three eggs which haven’t hatch yet when I was there last July.
.
To protect nesting shorebirds, everyone is encouraged to #sharetheshore 🐣

If you’ve posted up at the inlet this summer I’m sure you’ve heard this guy coming and going. He certainly makes his presence known.

Just had to share this picture I took recently at the beach 🥰🥰🥰 It’s that time of year again, beach birds are starting to pair up so be aware of who you might be stepping on!! Many shorebirds, like plovers, terns, and other relatives use simple and hard-to-see scrapes on the beach to lay their very camouflaged eggs.
[image description: my hand holding out a sticker showing an adult snowy plover and three fluffy chicks, with the caption “Share the Beach”. I am holding it in front of a beach background with blue sky.]

When I went to Maine in July, I wasn’t expecting to see Piping Plovers at all but I definitely didn’t expect to see Piping Plovers chicks! Though Ive seen a few Piping Plovers before, I had never seen a chick. It really did look like a cotton ball on tooth picks it was so tiny as it scurried around the beach. Piping Plovers are one of my favorite birds and I regulary donate profits from a sticker I designed to the conservation of this species. Definitely a highlight of 2023 and hoping to see some more this year!
