| Spotted Sandpiper |
This bird, or one like it, had been feeding in the Frog Pond for more than a week. The Frog Pond is a faux vernal pool. The water is very low at present. This presents a shore-like environment in which the sandpiper can feed. It is fun to watch it work. I have not yet discovered what it pulls out and eats. I am wondering if it might be larval dragonflies. One morning, recently, while I was photographing this bird, I slid in the slippery edge of the pond and fell, scaring the bird away. The mud was soft and it cushioned my fall. The mono-pod, on which my camera was mounted, had sunk into the mud far enough to steady the camera during my fall. The next day when I returned, I thought I noticed the bird being more skittish. That is certainly understandable!
