Barry — the field of tomatoes are really a field of Solanum Lycopersicum but who cares! You need to learn your art. This woman is a gift to the Shore.

Thank you so much , Bruce…

And ah, the joys of learning birds and all else in life. In the Sonoran desert, my most recent home, we had to learn 12 different kinds of hummers and as many rattlesnakes. From afar, and with the naked eye, I saw the copper and green shining in the field. But glossy ibis it is then! Though my eyes saw a dowitcher, I will defer to yours Barry!

Loved your piece. Not to be picky, but you need to learn your birds. The ibis here are glossy ibis, not white faced. And if the alarm calling “dowitcher” at Red Bank landed on a post, it most assuredly was a willet, a common nesting shorebird on the seaside.

Beautiful, Sher! Surely, a book on your wanderings along the Shore must come from this!
