    Great shots. Waiting for any of these to arrive here. All but the Turnstone would be rare.

    How many photographers does it take to change a light bulb? 50. One to change the bulb, and forty-nine to say, "I could have done that better!"

    The crabs were actually quite good at avoiding the birds.

    Thanks Harry! The white morph was a nice surprise. Of course when I came back around, a great egret had replaced him.
