Coastal birds II




A brief foray out onto the beach before today's shuttle launch provides me with plenty of subjects to photograph under bright Florida sunshine. The common visitors outside our doors include sanderlings, willets, ring-billed and herring gulls, ruddy turnstones, and Royal terns. Further out in the water, Brown pelicans, ospreys, and Northern gannets cruise over the water in search of their next meal. There is always action along the coast.
