This is a different view from Morro Bay State Park. Yep, there's that big rock again. The trees to the right belong to a protected rookery. Blue Herons, Black Crowned Night Herons, Egrets and Cormorants all use it for raising their babies. The Blue Herons are the first to mate and I am sure they will start building their nests soon.

Great perspective and nice detail all the way through the photo. The birds have a wonderful rookery. The shoreline brings the view to all the elements talked of in your description.

What a great shot. I love how the water curves around and leads you right to that rock.

Nice composition. Hope you can get some shots of nestbuilding and such without disturbing the process.
