📍 Location: Nags Head, North Carolina 🗓 Date: May 26, 2026 🐾 Media: Image 🌿 Species: Ruddy Turnstone (Arenaria interpres) 📝 Notes: Small stocky shorebird found along beaches, rocky shorelines, mudflats, and coastal habitats worldwide. Recognized by its bold black, white, and chestnut plumage, short slightly upturned bill, and active foraging behavior.

Primarily feeding on insects, crustaceans, mollusks, and other small invertebrates, Ruddy Turnstones forage by flipping over shells, stones, seaweed, and debris to uncover prey. They are commonly observed during migration and winter, often gathering in small flocks along shorelines and tidal flats.

Loveee The Crone’s Kitchen by Arenaria.

The stove is really neat. It’s a two tile one that comes in two pieces, the stove part and a separate grill part for the left side. It’s functional and you can cook regular food with it and grill burgers/dogs on it too. The creator fixed it where there’s no fires when grilling inside. I tested it using the stovetop, oven, and grill, and had no problems.

The stove, table, spice rack and pot rack are all pre-cluttered. And the counter, but only when you turn a corner with it. The sink is one of those that morphs a counter when you place it. The rug is recolor is of the “Weirdness is the Art” rug.
