On a recent trip to show my son the elephant seals in san simeon ca we were lucky to come across a few unexpected birds as well. the first thing i noticed was the bright bills of the terns in the fog. Using the zoom lens through the fog doesn't exactly leave a crisp image but it's identifiable. the terns are not completely uncommon in our area but i dont always see them especially with a camera handy.
Then in the foreground the movement breaks the camoulflage and i see a curlew searching for some sand crabs. both the terns and the curlews nest on the ground leaving their eggs exposed and it's hard to imagine their eggs laying around with all the hundreds of seals rolling around everywhere.
