San Elijo Lagoon

I returned to San Elijo Lagoon yesterday afternoon to see what might turn up.  There was nothing out of the ordinary, but I did get to take a few shots with the new cam.

 Black Phoebe waiting for a flying insect.


 A Snowy Egret catching a fish.


 ... and another fish.







 Patiently waiting for another.



 A group of Northern Shovelers



 Black-necked Stilts resting.



 My guess is Long-billed Dowitchers.



Long-billed Curlew



 That long bill way down in the mud.

Love that snowy egret catching a fish. That's National Geographic quality stuff.

Love these photos. So much life!!

The Dowitchers make me think of the three witches from Macbeth, conspiring.
