I took my good camera and the telephoto lens down to Mission Beach in San Diego when I had some work to do down there. Here are some much better pictures of that osprey than the ones I took with my phone the other day. Look at those eyes!
They are big, majestic birds, and I do love the predator birds.
So I did take a lot of photos of him… or her.
But I also saw some drama involving that loaf of bread in the plastic bag there. I will get to that in a later post.
I looked in the bird book, and I think those are Brant Geese.
You have to be a more serious bird watcher than I am to identify the types of gulls. There are pages and pages of gulls.
That might be a sandpiper. There are a few pages of those, too.
Mallards… who doesn’t like mallards???
Okay, nobody really cares about pigeons, do they?
But cormorants are cool!
But not as cool as an osprey eating a fish!
Okay, see you soon.
Pouring My Art Out 
I’ve always been fascinated with birds. Eagles and owls are my favorite avians. That may be because they’re top predators, but that’s a different story. There’s a large pond behind our house where some ducks often congregate. We’re actually a short distance away, but sometimes I’ll catch ducks waddling around our front yard. I’ve been meaning to get some photos of them, but usually they’re gone after a minute or two.
Great photos, Art!
Birds are way more interesting than a lot of people seem to think they are.
