The Willet - Sandpiper that visits our Beach

The Willet - Sandpiper that visits our Beach

Jekyll Sandpiper visitors will find artwork in our home that depicts our namesake; paintings and sculptures. A short walk to our beach, we like to call it Sandpiper Beach, will likely present our visitors with these live examples of birds from the Sandpiper family. The Willet feeds along the shore line often in groups, but sometimes singlely. This sandpiper has a brown appearance while feeding, but when it takes to the air its wings are stripped and it makes a cute pep pep pep sound.

Eagles, hawks, osprey, the hunters of the island. Shorebirds of so many types. Or perhaps Jekyll Sandpiper visitors are wondering about the woodpeckers you can hear from our screened-in porch. Lydia Thompson has been writing about the birds of Jekyll Island for years. Her articles are often featured in Jekyll's Golden Islander paper.
