From Late April through early May, hundreds of thousands of shorebirds concentrate on the muddy tideflats of Grays Harbor Estuary on the Washington Coast. Grays Harbor Estuary is one of four major staging areas for shorebirds in North America and one of the largest concentrations of shorebirds on the west coast, south of Alaska. Shorebirds gather here in the spring to feed, store up fat reserves, and rest for the non-stop flight to their northern breeding grounds.

These fotos are super. I wish there were a soundtrack as I imagine the noise was impressive. It looks like a puzzle that needs further investigation.
These are amazing. These photos surround me in a manner that I, as the observer, am right in the midst of the migration!Beautiful work! I have taken flight!!!
