Description
...if this scene looks a little familiar to you, the reason is I've used this background before but at different distances.
...location is Cannon Beach, Oregon
...this distance disclosed all these birds taking a break from their normal meal hunting activities.
...of special note is the California Brown Pelican in the middle of the gulls (and a few more off to his right). They are a success story! They were listed on the Endangered Species List in 1970 and their recovery has been so good that they were delisted in 2008.
----------------------
...once again, that is the Tillamook Rock Lighthouse a little more than a mile off shore. Imagine serving out there between 1881 and 1957...42 days on lighthouse duty, 21 days on shore duty.
[In the early years, duty was even worse. The keepers (four on the rock at all times) served three months on and two weeks off...until it was acknowledged that no keeper could take the isolation, the crashing seas and the constant blasts of the foghorn during fowl weather. A recipe for mental instability...yikes!]

P.S. Worth a zoom.

I always enjoy your photos Bill and this is no exception. Fantastic! But I also have to admit that I also learn something new - with most of your postings because of the information you include. Thank you for informing us. Dana
