Birds Near The Shore

Migrant birds are a fun sight to see in the tropics during winter in the north, when they all come down here to enjoy the sun. Egrets can be seen along the shoreline lazing about. These photos were taken at Gurney Drive.

I have no ideas what these are. They look like sandpipers or plovers. I can't really tell at this resolution.

The collared kingfisher is a coastal bird. Here it is waiting to prey on crabs.
