I think these are Willets — and I think they got up too early in the morning. By 10 a.m. they were ready for their morning nap!
It was a gray and cool (for Florida) morning at Bunche Beach. The good part was there were very few people on the beach (a rarity in this part of Florida during the season).

Nice pics of these puffy little cuties.
Such a cute photo…napping in place! 🙂
I know what you mean when you say there were unusually few people on the beach. There are always bunches there so that is definitely an oddity. That yawning bird cracks me up. A real cutie pie with a real personality in this shot. genie
I’ve returned to add my thanks for sharing your link to this post to share with us at I’d Rather B Birdin’ this weekend. Yep, Willets….LOVE THE ONE YAWNING. lol
So cute. I could do with a nap too.
Just beautiful! 🙂
Willet be nap-time soon?
😉
I’ve missed you Sallie! Enjoyed this photo so much; especially the little guy yawning in the background. You capture so much fun in nature.
Again a beautiful picture! Thank you for your comment.It is a pity that a lot of people have to be killed in those horrible and senseless conflicts. There are no winners.

Funny birds, such skinny legs !
This made me smile and then yawn…. Michelle
Works for me! I’m always game for a nap 🙂
What pretty birds. By 10AM I’m ready for a morning nap too, but they wouldn’t appreciate that at the office!
They are so cute and you captured a superb shot.
Dearest Sallie; Oh, Lovely scene of Willets under the bit cold season. I smiled with the cute yawning face and the way they trying to be warmer putting their head back 🙂
Thank you SO much for your sweet comments. Trying to catching up my friends’ blog. So cold here but enjoyed the first a bit piled snow fall(♡^.^♡)
Sending Lots of Love and Hugs from Japan to my Dear friend in America, xoxo Miyako*
awwww, so sweet. How do they balance themselves on those skinny little legs!?
Oh, gosh! Daisy had me up at 6 a.m., but ignored her for awhile!
I love the shore in winter. Matches my melancholy. Birds don’t care.
They are beautiful–and a gorgeous photo–worth waking up for?
I looked at this page in the early morning, when it was -4C outside and I was waiting for the sun to come up and melt the ice on my car!
The photo really made me smile: a lovely capture. I wondered whether it was a young one with its beak open, squawking for food.
Very cute they are all huddled up like that. Great photo! It is chilly up this way. Snow expected in a couple of days.
Looks like they’re hunched up against the colder than usual weather. They wouldn’t like it here where I am!
What a cute shot!
They are so pretty! Love the shot!
Nice pic of the birds – especially capturing one that’s yawning. Thanks for stopping by my blog! 🙂
This is a wonderful photo…
Fabulous shot! The beaches have been empty for good reason! But there is more to a beach than just swimming. I may just head out to one today and just toast while watching the birds.
I hope their naps were well deserved!
Hello Sallie!:)
Love this shot of the sleepy Willets!:) Have a good day!:)
The Willets are so cute. I am feeling like these Willets now. My eyes are closing, I need a nap. Ha ha!
Maybe in the sandpiper family. Piped up too early?
Great photo!
I’ll have my WBW post up tomorrow
Hope you are having a great week!
Lea
I love seeing these Willets, though I would not be standing on one leg if I needed a nap. 🙂
They’re all standing on one leg:) I know what you mean – it was the same at the South. Calif. beaches – really the only time good for taking pics!
YAWN! How cute!
Linda
too cute! i’m right there with them and i just got up an hour ago!
Wonderful photo of those birds!
When a bird had to nap, a bird has to nap!
Nap time, maybe :)) But they look so pretty and soft!
Hi Sallie, they are pretty. I like the one in the far left yawning. Great capture. Happy Tuesday, enjoy your week ahead!
We appreciate all visitors and commenters! Thank you.
