A group of rocks along the B Street Jetty in Crescent City, CA proved to be the nightly roosting site for several species of shorebirds including this family of Black Oystercatchers. Junior is the topmost bird with the dark-tipped bill.
And, this Whimbrel standing on one leg as many shorebirds do when they are roosting.
The rocks were crawling with Black Turnstones and Surfbirds with their yellow feet and speckled bellies all jockeying for the best roosting spots.
One lifer among these birds was this Pacific Golden Plover.
This American Herring Gull was very proud of the purple starfish it had caught. But, it seemed to be conducting an exercise commonly known as "fitting a square peg into a round hole."
