About 18 massed Marbled Godwits on the rocky edge of the Bodega Bay shoreline. AllAboutBirds describes them as a "graceful shorebird speckled in browns with a cinnamon wash," which seems perfect. The two-toned bill is salmon pink with a black tip.
Today’s #BirdOfTheDay theme set by @alan678.bsky.social is #LandMeetsWater: any bird on a shoreline or riverbank. This is a gorgeous grouping of Marbled Godwits at #BodegaBay #California. I love the angled swoosh of pink from their slightly-upturned bills 🪶

Half submarine, half airplane,

Wings spread, one snowy egret chases another.
Seems inevitable

a pecking order.

A white-crowned sparrow feeds on the edge of a gravel path.
Neither exotic nor rare,
essential like a drop of rain
the sparrow.

A Marbled Godwit with a brown and white patterned body, long legs, and a long orange and black beak, strolling along the shoreline at low tide on a gray and cloudy day. Seen at Pinnacle Gulch Beach in Bodega Bay, California.
Rob's #BOTD theme is any bird with a long beak. This Marbled Godwit strolling along the shoreline in Bodega Bay, California fits the "bill"! 😉🤎

Black and white photo looking up at the Point Reyes lighthouse, in California.
Black and white photo of St. Teresa of Avila Church, in Bodega Bay, CA. With wispy clouds in the background.
Throw back to my b&w photography phase. Point Reyes and Bodega Bay edition. For years, we spent almost every weekend running around up there.
Always stopped at Valley Ford for lunch.

The serenity felt while taking in this view of the Pacific Ocean was a gratitude moment. The sea in Bodega Bay, CA was calm. Small waves are visible, including the most prominent one lapping over a rock near the middle right of this photo. Also, very hard to see is a flock of birds below the horizon line on the right half. This soft blue color of the Pacific Ocean and the sky above is peaceful. May you all have peace today and always.
To know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is to have succeeded.
