To the Beauty of Birds

The warm brown colors of the Marbled Godwit Limosa fedoa with its long slightly upturned pink beak fading to black at the tip make this shorebird easy to identify. These pictures were taken at Bolsa Chica Ecological Reserve, Huntingbeach, CA and Mussel Shoals,Ventura, CA. The first photograph is one of those rare pictures that just happen to catch a bird in flight, in focus, and with just the right lighting to maximize the beautiful coloring of its plumage.

These 100 series pictures were taken at the Moss Landing beach north of Monterey, CA. The 386 and 442 photos were taken at the aviary at the Monterey Aquarium.
