sandpipers

Yesterday I saw a few sandpipers who got really close to me and didn't care.

It's nice to watch animals who don't mind being next to people.

I wonder if the coyotes here think of the foxes and dogs as compatriots, competitors or colleagues.


The sandpipers tend to move in groups so intricately linked that they must be aware that they are moving together.  But what do they think about the gull here or there right next to them; or me?  Are we just non-sandpipers?  Or do they feel an affinity or competition with the other birds?

No ospreys or vultures in the sky yesterday... and the sandpipers mostly flitting; not running along the surf as usual.
