Shoreline Illusion

During one of my forays to the beach at Gulfport, Mississippi, I captured this interesting image of a ring‑billed gull (Larus delawarensis) and a snowy egret (Egretta thula). The scale in the photo feels a bit deceptive. The egret, which is actually the closer and much larger of the two birds, appears almost the same size as the gull. Maybe it’s just me, but the perspective plays a clever little trick on the eye.

Looking Out to Sea

A couple of years ago, I captured this image of five royal terns (Thalasseus maximus) gazing out over the sea at Holly Beach, Louisiana, along the Gulf of Mexico. If you look closely beneath the terns on the far left, you can spot the tiny black legs of a much smaller bird—possibly a sanderling—hidden just beneath them.
