A handsome #Willet explores to receding surf for yummies in the sand. Still its feet are on dry
(-ish) land, so it qualifies as #grounded for today’s #birdoftheday
While Willets are pretty common on our beaches, I think they are kinda elegant — nicely proportioned and dressed for a nice dinner out
The #Willet (Tringa semipalmata) is common #shorebird along North American beaches, mudflats, and salt marshes, they are loud, territorial #birds named for their piercing “pill-will-willet” song.

A willet stands in marsh grass facing right with a soft-shelled clam and some strands of seaweed sticking out in its beak.
A European starling stands in profile facing left against a snowy white background with two dried mealworms in its beak.
A red-winged blackbird, facing away from the camera and showing its red and white epaulets, perches on a feeder facing up with a peanut in its beak. You can see a bit of the red tail of a northern cardinal above its beak.
A white-breasted nuthatch stands on a rail post facing left with its head straight out, holding a bit of suet in its beak.

A willet walks across a sandy shore still wet from the receding Atlantic.
Boat-tailed grackles foraging together—glossy black bodies, striking yellow eyes, moving purposefully across the ground.
Per Alan (@alan678.bsky.social), today’s #BirdOfTheDay theme is #walking, birds walking.
This #willet and boat-tailed (?) #grackles are my contribution.

A Willet stands alert at the ocean's edge, scanning the surf and receding waters for prey as dawn breaks over the Atlantic.
Two Eastern Bluebirds share a birdbath's edge, sunlight catching the brilliant blue gradations across the nearer bird's plumage.
An Eastern Bluebird perches on the rim of a metal ring, its back turned toward the camera. Sunlight illuminates its radiant blue plumage.
Per Alan (@alan678.bsky.social), the #BirdOfTheDay theme today is #Winterlight , any bird highlighted by winter sunlight.
I've gone with a #willet enjoying the stunning Atlantic Ocean sunrise and #EasternBluebirds.

Two dunlins forage on a small grassy landmass jutting from the surface of a river.
Per Alan (@alan678.bsky.social), today's #BirdOfTheDay theme is #LongBeaks, any bird with a Long Beak.
I've gone with a Snowy #Egret, an American White #Ibis, a #Willet, and what I believe are a pair of #Dunlins wintering in North Carolina.

A brown and white spotted Willet, left foot extended slightly forward, steps toward the camera. There is a small shadow under his left foot, while the rest of the background is made up of light gray sand.
