Flying Western Gull ~ Photographed at La Jolla Cove, San Diego area.
Resting Royal Terns ~ These terns were just a few of a flock of birds resting on a rock by the water in La Jolla Cove, San Diego. It was a cloudy morning, misty/rainy and windy. I liked the way they all face the same direction. The high surf kept breaking over the rock they were on. The terns let me get quite close, seemingly undisturbed by being photographed.
Resting Black Skimmers ~ This flock of Black Skimmers was on the beach at Crown Point in San Diego. This photograph shows only a small number of the entire flock. I've never been able to get this close to skimmers before. I liked the pattern they made with their repetitive positioning and their little black tuxedos.
