Glad to made it to Skagit for the shorties. Always fun and pleasure to watch and photograph.

Rock Pigeon enjoying some seaweed at Pier 4 beach in Brooklyn Bridge Park. I believe it is succulent or red string Seaweed (Sarcodiotheca gaudichaudii). Many pigeons were eating it like crazy!

American Woodcock demonstrates "distal rhynchokinesis," the ability to flex the end of its bill. This allows it to grab earthworms it encounters when probing in soil. Other shorebirds, including Dunlins & Sanderlings, can bend their bills in this way. 😃
