Slaughter Beach in Delaware was a bit rocky and the peeps had lots of stones and crevasses to check out as they searched for Horseshoe Crab eggs, the seasonal delicacy. Most of the peeps I photographed the day we went beach panning there were Semipalmated Sandpipers, small shorebirds on their spring migration north. I was disappointed to see that, according to Cornel Labs All About Birds, Semipalmated Sandpipers have been added as an Orange Alert Tipping Point species, birds that are showing long-term population losses and accelerated recent declines within the past decade. I was glad to be able to photograph so many of these adorable little peeps while I have the chance.
