Shore Birds: Eggs, Nests and Chicks

Had a wonderful walk at Breezy Point on Saturday with my friend Andrea.  Just to be walking on the beach on a sunny but cool day was so relaxing, and the birds were spectacular!

The eggs were sometimes just laying on the beach, well out of the nesting restricted area, so you had to watch where you were walking.
