I have no idea, but I do love your capture, Pat! What perfect reflections and such cute, hungry little buggers they are. I love it! Hope you -- and them, have a fun weekend!
I love reflection photos like this one. I also love watching those little birds run around. I'm terrible with bird names so all birds like these are sandpipers to me. :)
Aha ! These are NOT marbled Godwits, but they are "des barges marbrées" !!!
Okay, this is the poorest joke of the weekend, i'm sorry, but I couldn't resist ("Barge marbrée" is the french translation for this type of Godwit... ;D).
Pat, What a beautiful picture...I love the reflection in the water. I can't help you with the type of bird, but they are really cool; love their legs :) whew, whew...
I googled the name you suggested and it does look like them. Whatever type of shore bird you have captured, this is a great balanced photo and fabulous reflection!
How far away did you have to be to capture them in a photo? Everytime I get anywhere near enough a bird, it flies off!! Sheesh, like I'm gonna eat it or something. NOT!
I wish I could help you but I am brain dead when it comes to the names of plants and animals. That is why I was a 6th grade English teacher. I can tell you this shot is a beauty. The reflections of the “water fowl” are lovely. I like the name Marbled Godwit so hope it is that. Whenever you can capture a two for one or a three of one, you have really hit the jackpot. Guess you are pretty rich tonight. Wonderful shot!
I don't know bird names worth beans! But, I do know I love watching these guys scurry in the wet sand doing what sea birds do...cute little critters, they are!
Beautiful photo though, and I hope they are finding plenty of good things to nibble there... I know it's just the perspective, but it does look like one is picking the other one's brains...
Birds.
ReplyDeleteSorry, that's all I know! Cool photo.
Amazing!!! This is something that would look great blown up and hanging in a house.

ReplyDeleteI have no idea, but I have a feeling somebody somewhere is going to have a British Romance novel with a character by that name!
ReplyDeleteLovely picture, Patrick. Happy weekend to you!
don't know what they are but it's a serene beach picture in light of all the tsunami news that we're hearing this morning.

'Tsuki - Oh, that's funny! I'd never even heard of a Godwit until I took this photo!
That's a beautiful snack time! Oh, for them...not me!
ReplyDeletei just saw some birds like this for the first time yesterday and took pictures of them ^_^

A double-double reflection! lovely!
ReplyDeleteThere's something tender in the way they're mirroring each other and in the way they're reflected back.
ReplyDeleteI think I found it in my bird book. If I am right, it is a Marbled Godwit.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photograph!
It's an awesome photo!
ReplyDeletehave a great weekend:)

Couldn't correct you if I wanted to, but can tell you this is a lovely catch. So pretty.
ReplyDeleteThe only thing I can offer, my friend, is a compliment on your image: very nice, especially enlarged to the fullest. :-)
ReplyDeleteLove the reflection- great shot! Have a good weekend Pat.
ReplyDeletehow fragile they look.
ReplyDeleteplease have a good weekend.

I want to know what they are going to do with the clams once they find them.

ReplyDeletebirds... Godwits for sure.
That's my new nickname for myself. Great shot.
ReplyDeleteUhhhh...birds with very long
ReplyDeleteleg-limbs?
Nice capture...whatever they are;)
Have a great weekend Pat!
I don't know bird names worth beans! But, I do know I love watching these guys scurry in the wet sand doing what sea birds do...cute little critters, they are!
ReplyDeleteNice photo and reflections. I probably would have called them sandpipers, but birds are not my strong suit. I'm just learning. . . .
ReplyDeleteThey are beautiful, great shot!
ReplyDeleteLéia - Bonjour Luxembourg
Not a bird expert I'm afraid - but good shot!
ReplyDeletePat, thank you for your concern.
ReplyDeleteTwo birds and reflections look like delicate and fragile artworks! Beautiful shots.
Beautiful reflections Patrick.
ReplyDeleteHave a great weekend.
Costas
They look like Sand pipers to me. I think I may have to go back to the beach to investigate. I wish.
ReplyDeleteSorry, do not know the species but I photographed some of the same at Del Mar last time I was in Ca.
ReplyDeleteYour wonderful photo reminds me of that trip and how much I would love to be able to go back again soon.
We see Marbled Godwit's hanging around here in the summer.

Their reflections make them look like different birds, squatter, plumper - and then you look up amd see their elegance. Lovely pic!
ReplyDeleteTheir pose, reflections, water, or color tone, all are simply but beautifully represented . This has a soothing effect on me.
