I picked up Joey after school on Tuesday.

Lots of migratory waterfowl at Metro Beach.

A mullein stalk from last year.

An unusual bird, not one I've seen before at Metro Beach. Unfortunately, it flew away before I could get a closer photo.

More gulls.

I need to play with this one in Photoshop some. I underexposed to retain detail in the white back feathers, but the face is too dark and needs to be selectively lightened, which exceeds the ability if iPhoto from whence I generate these web pages.

Same swan, but I walked around it and now it's front-lit rather than back-lit, so the face is not so dark.
