Day 284 - a Year by the Sea
October 12, 2007 by OrientSee.
Migrants pass through on their way south. Often there are birds which never spend their summers or breed here. Sometimes they seem out of place in a marsh separated from the Atlantic by one road and a small bridge. This little guy is a Brown Creeper. They creep around and up and down tree trunks eating bugs. The curved bill is very elegant. This particular bird came to my attention while I was watching some herons. I didn’t even notice it until it popped into my binoculars obscuring my sight of a Great Blue. What is this? Taking the binocs from my eyes, I could focus on this bird not eight feet in front of me. It was totally oblivious to me and was busy eating. This is a bird that belongs in heavily wooded forests and not in a thicket next to a marsh. It was a delight to watch.
Ciao!
