What bird is this?

These 2 Were Just Posing For Me

On my weekend adventures, I stopped at a place called Dog Park Beach on Ponce Inlet Island. I was given a pin to this location a few weeks back as a place perfect for a photoshoot. I had realized it was only a short 20 minute drive away so I loaded my camera and went on an adventure.

95% of our beaches in Florida do not have cliffs or rock formations so I was rather pleased to see this land feature.

When I finally made my way down below the rocks, these two birds were hanging out. Also it was super bright and I forgot my lens filters so I had to change my settings to accommodate the harsh lighting!

I don't know what type of birds these are but he sure knew how to pose for the camera.

I think this one is my favorite out of the entire set. Which one is your favorite?
