A Time to Rest or a Time to FlyWhen I returned for my second visit to the resting area at the guzzle at the east end of Evangeline Beach the gathering of Semipalmated Sandpipers was smaller than my earlier visit but this time I came to photograph aerial displays and they did not disappoint. Large flocks are a means of protection from predators like Peregrine Falcons since a melee of flying birds can instill confusion in the predator, simply the challenge of picking out one bird from the melee to pursue since this one supposed victim can quickly disappear into the melee of the undulating flock. I never disturbed the birds and sat quietly with my 600mm lens. The problem with flocks of birds is that if one bird for whatever reason is spooked and emits a warning note or simply takes off others sometimes all of the flock follow.
