A Pause

Parker River National Wildlife Refuge, Plum Island, Massachusetts
  
Hidden among rocks, almost invisible... these are Sandpipers,
 the shorebirds that summer in Arctic lands and winter in Central America... 
 
Now is the time when they embark upon this long voyage, with a few stops of respite,
  and to fatten-up for the rest of the flight of 4,000 km to their winter homes...

    ... so special to see them here, among these rocks, having a pause...  

Plum Island: ... almost invisible among rocks...

Plum Island: ... these are Sandpipers...

Plum Island: ... taking a respite...

Plum Island: ... from their long journey...

Plum Island: ... so special to see them here...

Plum Island: ... having a pause...
