The sands and seas of coastal Massachusetts, and some of the wildlife that live there. We walked along a trail through and up Pitch Pine, Beach Heather, and Chokecherry-covered dunes above the Atlantic where flocks of Black Scoters and Common Eiders dove for fish. Another trail went down to the beach where a Piping Plover foraged along the shore and a number of Least Terns and curious Gray Seals hunted a short way out to sea. We were a good distance outside a restricted shorebird area, but we were happy to give them their space and could see them just fine with a pair of binoculars :)
#if you zoom in on the pic of the black scoters (big flock of dark birds) you can spot a few surf scoters mixed in i think teeheeee.#just noticed them today!#birds#piping plover#black scoter#common eider#least tern#animals#gray seal#ocean#beach#sand dunes#nature#summer#massachusetts#new england#original photography#mine
