 There's a little coffee shop near my home, fronted by a small beach on what we call the Back Bay (Morro Bay). This area is home to many birds during the winter. This young one was wandering the beach and allowed me to get quite close with my camera.

Great egrets are probably my most favorite bird to photgraph. To learn more about them:

I love to play the bird sounds - it drives my dogs crazy!

Almost an intense look here. Great contrast between legs and sand really help the egret stand out.
