This is an extension of the exploration post with more of the bird photos and videos.

The first Snowy Egret did a fair amount of hoping from rock to rock. A few times, it got in a little too deep and the waves tossed it around. There is a video of this on the exploration post.

It was wandering through the rocks trying to pick out fish and crustaceans. In the second video, the egret plucks a fish from the tides and waves.

The first pelican on the rock was joined by another, and they swapped between sitting on the rocks and fishing. The Laughing Gulls were flying around and sharing the rocks with the Brown Pelicans.

I have no idea what the pelican is doing here. It looks like the pelican version of a person turning their eyelid inside out to gross people out.

At the boat ramp, John took a few pictures of the gulls on the pylons. The ones on the left have the left bird in focus. The ones on top have a smaller aperture. You can see how the smaller aperture increase the area in focus. The out-of-focus bird is more clear in the lower pictures.

On the way out, we got several good pictures and videos of the Brown Pelicans.

While there, a few Grackles visited. One of them appears to be giving us the stink-eye.

At the tidal pond with the wading birds, we only saw about four of them, but they moved pretty fast. Some times, it was hard to get a decent picture because they dived out of the frame.

Or, they stuck their head under water.

At about 780, This was the second highest count of photos with this camera.

Here are the rest of the Greater Yellow Legs photos and videos. In the first picture, you might be able to barely see a tiny crab in the birds beak.

And here are the rest of the Willet photos. You can see a fish in the beak in the first photo. A Willet came very close to us, about 30 feet, shortly before we left. As we were driving off, they flew around, and you could see the striking white and black of their wings.

Here you can see the Willet grabbed a fiddler crab, or at least the claw. Clearly, there is enough food for everyone at this time of year.

And this is the Willet at the closest point.

All the time we were watching the birds, flocks of pelicans, seagulls, and cormorants were flying over us. We tried to get some pictures, but most of them did not turn out. These were the few that came out okay.
