Dunlins and at least one Black-bellied Plover (the larger bird in the background, right).
(I had misidentified these as Western Sandpipers, but the particularly long drooping bill marks these as Dunlins.)

Mantises are an order (Mantodea) of insects that contains over 2,400 species in about 430 genera in 15 families. The largest family is the Mantidae ("mantids"). Mantises are distributed worldwide in temperate and tropical habitats. They have triangular heads with bulging eyes supported on flexible necks. Their elongated bodies may or may not have wings, but all Mantodea have forelegs that are greatly enlarged and adapted for catching and gripping prey; their upright posture, while remaining stationary with forearms folded, has led to the common name praying mantis.
The closest relatives of mantises are the termites and cockroaches (Blattodea), which are all within the superorder Dictyoptera. Mantises are sometimes confused with stick insects (Phasmatodea), other elongated insects such as grasshoppers (Orthoptera), or other insects with raptorial forelegs such as mantisflies (Mantispidae). Mantises are mostly ambush predators, but a few ground-dwelling species are found actively pursuing their prey. They normally live for about a year. In cooler climates, the adults lay eggs in autumn, then die. The eggs are protected by their hard capsules and hatch in the spring. Females sometimes practice sexual cannibalism, eating their mates after copulation.
Mantises were considered to have supernatural powers by early civilizations, including Ancient Greece, Ancient Egypt, and Assyria. A cultural trope popular in cartoons imagines the female mantis as a femme fatale. Mantises are among the insects most commonly kept as pets.

Great spotted woodpecker (Dendrocopos major) at Adel Dam Nature Reserve.
Many thanks to all those who take the time to comment on my photos. It is truly appreciated.
Sometimes it's just a certain pattern, in a certain light, of course, that conspires to strike the eye...and trip the shutter! Photographed at golden hour in Toronto, minutes before sunset on February 8, 2022. Processed in PS.
Order in Chaos
Between the heavy knots on the mooring ring and the neatly coiled rope on the pier lies a true maritime aesthetic. Port details that often escape notice, yet tell a subtle story of order, safety, and seamanship.
Red u kaosu
Između grubih čvorova na vezu i uredno složenog konopa na mulu krije se prava mala morska estetika. Detalji iz luke koji često promaknu prolaznicima, a pričaju priču o redu, sigurnosti i trudu mornara.
