I love the way you write! I feel like I'm right along side--and, of course, I've had similar experiences. This made me smile in recognition, "The eider and white-winged scoters drove me a bit crazy with their unexpected bursts of noisy takeoffs, catching me in the valley of mediocrity between photography and birding as I failed to do either one well." And your respectful visit to the Plover--and well--the whole piece. Bravo!
No mediocrity here. Beautiful photos, birds and prose. ❤️
