Most of my photos taken at Moss Landing are to the east of the dunes and the ocean. After walking the park area I walked over the dunes and walked the beach for a while. There were a few birds feeding in the surf. Here is one of my favorites.

Here are four photos of this water bird. There were quite a few different species at Moss Landing this fall. This bird is not very colorful, but has a grace and style all its own.

I love this species. They are very photogenic because of their long snozola. Unfortunately the photo is a little soft because I had to max out my telephoto lens.

Up in Washington we see a lot of Horned Grebes in the bay out in front of our house. However, Shawn and I are thinking this may be an Eared Grebe. What do you think? The photos are a bit soft, but I like the reflection in the water.

The sun didn’t cooperate here. Wouldn’t you know that most of the birds were on the side of the road that was facing the sun. Shawn and I have come to the conclusion that this must be a Least Sandpiper.
