Some Shore Birds





Whoa... it's really, really windy here. But there are some shore birds on the beach. The Royal Tern is in it's winter foliage. It's black crown is usually all black. Right now, they look like they are having a bad hair day. The Sandwich
Tern has just a tip of mustard color on it's beak.

I guess it's obvious where the Ring-Billed Gull gets its name.

And the Willet, really does have two legs! But they were all standing on one leg and even hopping around on the one leg, rather than walking with both.
