104:365 The Global Village
St. Marks National Wildlife Refuge was established in 1931 to provide wintering habitat for migratory birds. (Thank goodness!) This Ruddy Turnstone is a highly migratory bird that breeds in the Artic north and migrates to numerous southern destinations. They find food by foraging along the beach and turning over rocks. If you will look closely at his beak, you will see that he has been hunting for breakfast. Humans need to realize that what we do in our own little area of the world doesn’t just affect one area, it affects the delicate eco-system of this whole planet upon which we live.
This is my soapbox and theme # 320 The Global Village.

Creative take on the theme and wow, what clarity and so detailed! Nice work!
Good idea for the theme! You have a beautiful shot of a bird I've never seen!
A beautiful little bird - and your photo is stunningly clear - I can see the intricate color and detail in his feathers. Great for the theme.
Nice shot. Cute bird. And great theme shot.
This shot is spectacular. the bird is fantastic and you have such a clear photo with the perfect DOF. Excellent
Fabulous shot of this very interesting bird. Once again you've got it all in this photograph. Stunning!!
Dynamite shot!! Great for the theme, too. Nice to see reminders that the global village is not inhabited by humans alone!
I, too, haven't seen this bird. It's a wonderful photo (and I agree with you).
Very clever way to use the theme! This is a wonderfully clear shot too.
I like the way you think. And make pictures.
Amen! Beautifully detailed shot.
What a distinctive looking bird.
Love this shot and all the textures you've captured.
nive capture of a beautiful bird. ruddy turnstones winter in new jersey, but leave just as they start to get really colorful.
