The willet

Another one of my favorite shorebirds is the willet which is in the sandpiper family.


Next spring and summer when I start sea turtle patroling again, I hope to get a photo of a willet in flight to share with you. The change is very dramatic from the soft color above to the bold pattern which is displayed in flight.

The Willet

Thank goodness the rain has finally stopped so we can get outside again, although the humidity doesn't help my camera lens! It seems to take forever before the glass unfogs.


This graceful shorebird is a Willet and can frequently be seen on our beaches. You may learn more about them by clicking HERE.
