The first morning light was quite pretty on this lone Willet as he walked the surf line.

He plodded along in no particular rush, with the tide rising behind him.

Squint–do birds get blinded by looking into the sun the way I do?

The Willet walked on to higher ground between the fallen trees that make the boneyard on this beach.

It was late afternoon and windy at the beach when I spotted a Willet hunting in a tidal pool.

Often these shore birds go back and forth in the same pool, probing around the edges for food.

This time the wind kept him moving further down the beach.

He was having success at finding some snacks.
