How many birds in this picture: take two!
In April I posted this picture of four of our shorebirds camouflaged in their winter plumage. From top to bottom are a piping plover, semipalmated plover, sanderling and dunlin. Most of you could only find two or three of them, but look closely and there are four.
The birds are all currently in their summer breeding plumage and far less camouflaged. Now how many can you see? Click on the photo to enlarge. (answer below)
(There are six. From lower left to upper right are a semipalmated plover, two sandlerings, a dunlin, a common tern and a piping plover. The dunlin and sanderlings go through the most dramatic plumage changes. )
