I got a tip from the lovely Kate C that there were many birds feasting at low tide on Little River yesterday morning in beautiful light and that I should check it out. So I did and she was absolutely correct. There were ducks, herons, egrets and gulls enjoying the meals that presented themselves in the low tide. The morning light shone on these birds along with all the parents and children waiting streetside for the first bus ride of the new school year. Great start to the morning. Thanks Kate!
