As Hurricane Erin passes by, whipped up surf pounds the beach as non-plussed birds preen and rest. There is a Great Black-backed Gull on the left. The remaining silhouetted birds seem to be American Herring Gulls. There are two Common Eider on the lower right.

Gulls and Eider don't care about Erin's whipped up surf. #bird #birdphotography #tappanbeach #littlecompton #birdsofrhodeisland
