Seeing Triple
A small flock of Short-billed Dowitchers enjoyed a pitstop at a local pond in early May. They were here for a brief stay - to rest and refuel before embarking on their next leg of migration to their breeding grounds further north in the subarctic tundra.
It's a delight to watch them feed and probe their bills - 'sewing machine' style - into the mud for aquatic insects.
I am glad that I was able to capture some shots of these three individuals in which their eyes were visible and their feeding positions were synchronized.

Thank you very much for the visit and comment.
