I often take long walks on the beach, especially near the water's edge at low tide. But sometimes, the tide is high at the time I feel like walking. So, I walk along the dunes, or in the drift line of driftwood.
This week, as I walked close to the high tide, I encountered great birds hanging around the driftwood: Snowy plovers! Two days ago there were 11, today I found 6.

Apparently in response to the snowy conditions inland, a small flock of 8 or 10 western bluebirds showed up on the beach on Thursday.
