Shore Birds


Shore birds photographed with my new 170-500mm zoom.
All from a small area where the San Luis Rey River joins the Pacific, right next to the Oceanside Marina.



Snowy Egret, against the cement on the river bank.
My bird book says black legs and yellow feet. But this one
has that yellow foot color running up its legs, behind it's backwards "knee" joint.
