Birds at Parker River National Wildlife Refige

We had not been over to Parker River National Wildlife Refuge in Newbury recently, so we took the ride a few days ago. We battled the greenheads in order to bring you this post, so please keep that in mind! We saw several bird species we had not seen there previously; many unknown to me (not being an actual bird watcher). I thought you might enjoy these anyhow…..please remember several greenhead bites were suffered to obtain these! 🙂

Sandpiper of some sort I think:

Killdeer:

Unknown and very interesting:

Some sort of mating ritual or perhaps defending territory?

Great Blue Heron in flight I believe:
