Black Skimmers!

I went for a walk on the beach and found a flock of terns and black skimmers. Since I had never seen black skimmers before, I ran back to my car for my camera. As it turned out, I had left my telephoto lens on my bedroom floor, so I had the choice of my 90 mm macro lens or my 10-20 mm wide angle lens. I chose the macro lens.

Elegant terns in the flock too

This Heerman's gull was standing right in front of me for a while.

The sun finally went down and pictures started getting blurry.
