Purple Sandpipers in Fairhaven

The photographic highlight of the day for me was getting so many shots of Purple Sandpipers at the end of Sconticut Neck Road in Fairhaven. The birds were picking through the rack line off the west side of the point just where Nelson Road makes a 90 degree turn. I've never been lucky enough to get so close to these shorebirds before, so it absolutely made my day.

I'll post more from the trip to Fairhaven and West Island either later tonight or tomorrow morning before we head out...but I wanted to share these sooner vs. later.
