I found a small group of Black Turnstones along the shores of Willapa Bay on the Long Beach Peninsula in Washington a few weeks ago. The Jolly Rogers Oyster Farm is a place where you can usually find something going on since they have large piles of oyster shells which attract all sorts of shorebirds.

Very nice, Louis! Although not colorful, I find these birds quite pretty. Although all are nice, #2 is my fav.

#2 for me as well Louis
Thanks Bob.

Handsome devil isn't he? Nice work.
Thanks Nick.

Hi Louis. #2 for me too. Highlights in the reflections are a bit distracting in the other images.
Thanks for taking the time to comment such as you have, appreciate it.

Louie, you are so good at capturing interesting birds and doing so with perfect focus, fine detail, and good color. Way to go.
thanks very much Gordon.

These guys are a tough shoot, they are small and quick, well done!
Thanks Andreas.

Good ones - I like 1 the best.
Thanks Allan.

Louie - I agree with Karen; all the shots are nice number two is such a terrific shot with the bird sharp and in focus against the water. That one really pops. As usual, thanks for posting.
Most appreciate your comments, thank you very much.
