Ah, Fall is on its way. Migration has begun. Sanderlings back in full force along the waterline today on Seabright Beach.
Skimmer sighting along Seabright shore.
The five Oyster Catchers which have been on the beach since late June seem to have departed. But we caught a glimpse of a Skimmer in flight today.

Anyone remember the bestseller years ago all about the inner life of rabbits? I think I need to dig it up and read it again since apparently many rabbits are moving into our neighborhood. All very cute so far, since noone has been eating my garden yet.
And yet, they are making the most of it. A couple of weeks ago, I was pulling out the last of the dead daffodil leaves when I saw a pile of fluff. Thinking it was garbage, I reached for it and “POP!”, something brown, furry and incredibly small leapt from underneath almost sending me on my you know what. Baby bunny stared at me and I stared back. Two other brothers and sisters snuggled in the now exposed nest, decide it might be time to move on. We’ve since seem several small rabbits around and about, so they didn’t move far, but then, that’s what all our bushes are good for.

Where’s your mama?
So – we were wondering why the guy in front was flying solo. But then again, he wasn’t.
I used to love Where’s Waldo; count the hidden cows; I Spy. So, can you find the mama in the picture below?
