Birds of a feather...

We are within walking distance of a dog beach that runs along where the San Diego river runs into ocean. Everyday we walk with Nanni and all the other dogs and their people. Besides being a place where Nanni can wild, it is a mecca for bird watching. Just a sampling of what we have seen....Long-beaked Curlews, lots of Marbled Godwits, flocks of Black-bellied Plovers and Avocets in their winter plummage, Egrets large and small, Great Blue Heron, Northern Pintail ducks, Canvasbacks, Buffleheads, Scaups, hundreds of gulls, and even flocks of escapee Parrots that are more raucous than crows.

But, on our walk home we saw a couple birds peeking over the bushes at us. Birds of a different feather and easier to catch in a photo.
