I love watching these long-legged and long-beaked birds as they do their dance with the ocean waves. I think I posted a photo of them the last time I was in California and I misnamed them as sand pipers. They are actually marbled godwits and there are plenty of them on the beach at Crystal Cove.
Sometimes they run from the waves as the water rolls in and other times they just stand and let the water roll over their long legs. They are a joy to watch.
We've been walking on the beach every morning for the past three days. It's a great way to start the day.

They look special with their long beak.
Paradise
They are very distinctive.
I envy your time at the beach, Sharon! Running around like the birds.
How I miss the beach...
We have similar ones here, they like to peck at the sealife in among the rocks.
Lovely photos.
Oh, I hate you. (No I don't, I'm just envious of your beach days.) GREAT shots of the birds.
Those godwits have remarkable beaks!
