Some more....

Some more photos from Huntington Beach park, because there was more to be seen than the ospreys. Lots of Great Egrets for instance....







And a Belted Kingfisher



A Snowy Egret



Who got some fishing companion ship from an Ibis.



And that Ibis called his friends to join him. Because just minutes after him landing along the bank, a flock of Ibises landed right next to him.



The young White Ibis was making a splash.



And a smart Little Blue Heron joined them. But must have felt like the blue sheep of the family.



And separated himself quickly from the group.



Later that afternoon I walked for a bit on the beach. Which is beautiful. Lots of shore birds there.



Normally I am always accompanied by the dogs so I don't see shore birds sleeping that much.



But love the serenity they have over them when they do.





A bit of stretching going on after the power nap.



Besides sleeping shorebirds it was the first I ever saw a mushroom growing at the beach. Who knew?



Then I had to walk back a bit faster then planned. Because it was almost sunset time and wanted to watch that over the marshes. Had a feeling that would be a special place to do so. There are nice boardwalks over the marshes at Huntington and so I headed that way.



This seagull had the same idea as I did and decided to keep me company.


The little Blue Herons grouped up and flew to their overnight spot. And so did the White Ibises. Both in opposite directions....





And what a beautiful sunset over the marshes.....
