Fripp Island Birds
Over 80 species of birds reside on Fripp Island. Fripp Island birds travel from all over the country to visit the island during our warm summer season. The birds love Fripp so much that the National Audubon society named Fripp Island an Important Bird Area.
Some of the species you can view at Fripp are:
- Osprey
- White Ibis
- Red Throated Loon
- Black Skimmer
- Double Crested Cormorant
- Scoter
- Old Squaw
- Great Blue Heron

These white fronted plovers do not have it easy. When they aren`t contending with us and our dogs, gulls and crows they have the wild seas that wash up the dunes and destroy their nests. Against all odds these little ones keep trying.

Birdtober day 11
Prompt: Spots and speckles from kaylafiskbirds + bird with a snack from thebirdherder
I thought a Sanderling was perfect for this prompt. I based this illustration off a Sanderling I met while birding In Michigan’s Upper Peninsula. We had the beach to ourselves, and they weren’t at all bothered by me as I laid in the sand and watched them find bugs in the sand 😍
Today I started with some sketches of their foraging poses (I’ll post that in my stories) then made this illustration with a whole lot of mixed media including an ink brush pen, watercolor, gouache, neocolors, and colored pencils.

It`s #worldshorebirdsday, I took this photo the other day to show a #sharetheshore situation. This group of Sandpipers rests on the beach,while busy beachgoers hustle and bustle in the background. In a lot of locations there is a struggle to provide shorebirds with enough space on beaches for people and birds. The thing is with a little self awareness of your surroundings you can share the shore with them equally, they need all the help they can get. Shorebirds are facing shrinking habitats, pollution, and the effects of climate changes on a daily basis. audubonsociety
NYC beaches open tomorrow! This will be a welcome relief, but please remember to keep clear of young shorebirds and off-limits nesting areas. (Yes, we`re glaring at your unleashed dog.) Our nesting shorebirds are already so vulnerable, especially the endangered piping plover, seen here in Breezy Point, and American oystercatchers. There’s plenty of room for everyone. #sharetheshore

The piping plovers have returned to Maine! Don`t forget to keep pets off the beach and share the shore! 💙🌊

Want to be a better beach goer to shorebirds? #ShareTheShore by respecting posted signs about nesting and other off-limits areas and keep your pet leashed whenever you’re near birds.
Playful dogs want everyone involved in the fun, but their antics can wreak havoc on shorebird colonies in a matter of seconds. Birds like these Least Terns perceive dogs as predators, even if the dogs aren’t chasing them.

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 🐣
