Favorite Images From 2011–Sea Gull Portrait
This bird didn’t mind having its picture taken. I like the simple lines and the way the head fills the frame. November, 2011.

Waves and Birds –Pelicans In Flight
Groupings of three often make for good composition. I wanted to capture the pelicans against the wave, but I didn’t see how many there were until I reviewed my images later.

Waves and Birds — Watching
These birds seem to be watching the crashing wave. I think they just happened to be looking in the same direction. I didn’t notice any other behavior that indicated they were aware of the unusually large waves.

Waves and Birds — Crying Sea Gull
Although there have been few winter storms in California this year, occasionally high surf is generated by winds far out to sea. Several weeks ago I saw a high surf advisory and traveled to Asilomar beach, an area south of Pacific Grove, to try and capture some waves. There seemed to be as many interesting birds as waves, so I will post a few pictures over the next several days.
