Semipalmated Plover in Flight
Took the picture of this Semipalmated Plover yesterday while attending the 7th Annual Jamaica Bay Shorebird Festival. Even though there were not that many shorebirds in attendance, the 100+ participants made it very festive. Lloyd Spitalnik and Kevin Karlson led informative workshops and gave wonderful photo presentations. Don Riepe discussed the history, current problems and future options for the Jamaica Bay Refuge.

The picture of this Semipalmated Plover was taken at the Jamaica Bay Wildlife refuge on the East Pond. The Semipalmated Plover is one of my favorite shore birds. They possess a majesty and delicacy that is very endearing.

Glossy Ibis Immature
The closeup picture of this immature Glossy Ibis was taken at the blind at Big John’s Pond in the Jamaica Bay Wildlife Refuge. This blind has been a very productive spot for me recently. I have never been able to get a good close of a Gloosy Ibis before this but this youngster was very cooperative.
