Birds take wing over the jetty at Scituate Light.
We make a sky where we may be
We build a home with windows to fly through
Windows to fly through
We learn to dance with broomstick partners
Grace will be ours
When we will grow our wings
With all the wonders of birds
With all the wonders of birds
– Karen Peris, The Innocence Mission
Neat capture. What kind of birds are those?
Purple sandpipers! They’re a shore bird, and believe it or not, they’re wintering down south here in Scituate. They spend their summers up north by the Artic islands.
