What a windy day!  The wind was so strong it blew all the fog away.  It also forced a lot of the shorebirds to hunker down in the sand.  I think the two large speckled birds are juvenile Herring Gulls.  Royal Terns have orange beaks.  The black-headed bird is a Laughing Gull.


Here is a juvenile Herring Gull inspecting a bit of pen shell.  You can see the wind ruffling its feathers.  This is a big bird, the biggest gull on the beach.


It's hard to look your best on such a windy day!  This is a Ring-Billed Gull.
