Cool shot, Barry. How far away were you?

I'm some 10 to 15 feet distant shooting with the zoom to crop the shot in-camera. I actually start out at more than twice this distance sitting in the sand & I slowly slide closer to the birds as they get used to my presence. It's only after I'm sitting there observing their behavior that I notice the POV I have if I place the camera a few inches off of the sand and compose/zoom from behind.

The unusual thing here is that for some reason, these birds tend to congregate in numbers on this one 150 foot long stretch of beach towards the northern limit of the Rivieria Beach public guarded beach. I've never quite figured this out as it's a year round phenomenon where the banded gulls, heron gulls, scoops & other little guys sort of hang out. Some folks give them a wide berth and don't disturb them whilst others will walk through them, dispersing them. I like observing them and when the light is right, snapping photos of them.

I don't know if I am violating rules of the board. I just realized that I did not post any pictures here of my Big Island experience in January.

I started a thread on the Hawaii on 3/11 providing a link to pictures we took snorkeling. Started another thread on 3/18. First thread is of the fish we captured on camera and the second thread is of the turtles.

HatTrick,

My wife and I just visited the George Washington Masonic Memorial this past Thursday (3/29). Very impressive memorial - we took the tour that included the observation deck - great views , although it was very windy when we were up there. I knew George Washington was a Free Mason but did not realize how involved he was in Freemasonry. Also didn't know that Lafayette was a Free Mason and Freemasonry enhanced their friendship.

Thanks for posting your excellent picture.

Hi Richard,

I visited with a friend who is a Mason, and seeing the Memorial was on his bucket list. It's quite an impressive place.

Here's a shot of the bronze statue inside the main hall.
