The shore is an amazing place. Wildlife is abundant and you never know what you’ll see as you walk through the marsh, or along the beach.
In addition to shorebirds running along the ocean-smoothed stones, early in the summer, birds are still migrating through, with some choosing to stay instead of continuing to fly north.
Early in the summer is also a time to see the newborn birds and wildlife. In a few months, they’ll be off on their own.
One of my favorite birds at the shore is the tern. They’re amazing to watch as they soar with the wind currents, hover above, then dive into the water.
An interesting bird to watch at the shore is the Laughing Gull. It’s appropriately named as when you hear the gull call out, it sounds as if it’s laughing.
You never know where you’ll see wildlife. At times they’re walking along open fields or along the shore, other times they’re hidden in the trees and brush. Take care, and I hope you have a wonderful summer!
Contest
***ONE winner will be drawn from everyone who posts on my guest blog post about, ‘Nature at the Shore!’ on Delilah’s blog between 10 July 2022 – 17 July 2022 and will win a tote.

Hi Mary, so nice to see you. I appreciate your kind words about my nature photography. Taking photos of birds is a fun challenge. Often when I zoom my camera in to take a picture, the birds fly off, but every so often, I’m lucky enough to catch a good photo. Take care, and I hope your summer is great.
