A few of the birds I photographed on two trips to Chincoteague last year. Can't wait to go back!
Great Blue Heron
Instead of running after perfection, why not simply walk in faith?

Karen,
Those are some terrific photos of shore birds. Here are some I took in North Carolina this past autumn.

Willets are very common on the outer banks.

They're excellent crabbers...

I love watching them outrun the waves!

Laughing gulls are also very common.

I'd laugh too if I could soar over the ocean like a kite all day!

At this angle their wings look like the brushed aluminum wings on an airplane.

These little sanderlings' legs can move so fast when they're running in and out of the waves looking for morsels to eat.
Mike Feb 22, 2010 9:24 PM CSTName: Mike Stewart Lower Hudson Valley, NY Zone 6b
The crushed shells nearly match the coloration and pattern of their wing feathers.

I love watching formations of brown pelicans. They look like B-52's.
