Sandpipers, Grand Pre, Nova Scotia
This is the same flock of sandpipers as in my previous post just before a falcon dove on them caused them to take flight. Several acres of beach were carpeted with sleeping sandpipers before the falcon interrupted their nap. The falcon swept through the huge flock and snagged two in one pass. When it flew off they all landed back on their patch of beach and gradually settled down.
