Thank you, HenryL!
I'm trying to id this tern. He's a smaller kind. Is it a young bridled tern?

A Common Tern chick expecting to receive lunch...
... but it has to go into camouflage lockdown as an opportunistic european herring gull passes overhead ...
... to finally receive the long awaited sand eel

This young cormorant dived for fish and then came back to the surface right next to my kayak. I think he looks quite bewildered, like "Hey, whatcha doin' here? It's my spot!"
Nice shot - who was more surprised when he popped up, you or him??? Very fortunate that you had the camera ready at that moment. Well done.This young cormorant dived for fish and then came back to the surface right next to my kayak. I think he looks quite bewildered, like "Hey, whatcha doin' here? It's my spot!"
Thanks! I guess we both were, but for different reasons.
I was shooting terns that were feeding and flying around me.
Pacific Wren... I hear these guys singing all the time but it's rare to catch one in an 'able to get a picture' situation.

Stepmom! A yellow warbler is feeding a sparrow's chick Cowbird's chick (thanks to Jack Douglas for correction) who is several times larger than her.
It seems that in animal kingdom every little life matters.

It may be. Yes, now I can remember reading about this before. Cow birds do lay egg in other bird's nest, similar to what cuckoo birds do.
Thanks for correction.
I've seen the same thing here - Bird Lives Matter!
Not great pictures but you get the idea..

First time I've seen a juvenile Magpie. Not my favourite bird, to say the least, but this one looks almost cute.
I love bird portraits!
I hope to be taking shots like this with an R5 pretty soon.
A little blue heron with its catch. It probably eats 100 fish like this a day.
A female grackle
A red-shouldered blackbird letting the world know he's here.
and my favorite. A little blue heron spreading her wings.
