I think this is a morning I will never forget. I almost always go down to my patio by the water and have my morning coffee. This particular morning, every coastal bird in the neighborhood was squawking, flying around, dipping in for fish and creating an unbelievable racket. I watched in awe for more than an hour, then decided I needed to get the camera out. There were a couple of species, the cormorant and the ibis, that showed up, too, but I wasn't able to get pictures of them. Here are some shots I did get.
