This past May, I spent several days at the Milford Neck Nature Preserve in Delaware, where the Mispillion River and Cedar Creek flow into Delaware Bay. This was spawning season for Horseshoe Crabs and the spawning crabs attract shorebirds, including Ruddy Turnstones like this one flying into the salt marsh grasses near where the crabs were spawning. The thousands of eggs each crab deposited were a great feast for all of the shorebirds and the Ruddy Turnstones didn’t have to turn any stones for this feast.
