We have noticed a lot of these "shore birds" in the Northern part of Mississippi hanging out in Walmart parklots and other places of business, in clusters. They hover just like sea gulls do on the beaches. WE started noticing them after Hurricans Katrina, if I'm not mistaken. It's my guess they have acclaimated themselves to the area, instead of going back to the shore. What do you think? WE have a lot of water around here. Could these be something other than Shorebirds ??
