Another beautiful day at Pass-a-Grille Beach.  The water was calm and clear, and there were lots of little fish in the shallows, near shore.

Little tiny silver fish...

 And long thin fish.

Also noticing the fish was a pair of birds I had never seen before at the beach.  I looked in my handy beach guide when I got home and discovered they were Red-breasted Mergansers (related to ducks).  They paddled along, right up against the shoreline, ducking their heads underwater to catch fish (or mole crabs, I couldn't tell which).

Got one!

There was also a Snowy Egret stalking along the shore, keeping an eye out for one of those little fish.  I love those yellow feet!
