Shore Birds

They gather here - on the other side of the posts with "No Trespassing Beyond This Point".
Brown Pelicans in flight.
Not quite as synchronized as before...
Soaring overhead!
Gulls gather...
And away they go...
 

Linking to The Bird D'Pot and Wild Bird Wednesday.  Thanks to our hosts for providing a place to show off our birds!

Love the shorebirds, there should be lots of them around now before the migration. The Pelicans are my favorite. Great photos, Linda!

I think your last gull is a tern!

Great post - I loved see Brown Pelicans when I was in the states - we have a different species here.

Cheers - Stewart M

This post takes me back to my visit to Del Mar a few years ago.

First time I saw these birds in the flesh. Great photos to inspire a few great memories. Thank You.
