Beach Hubbub

Photography 1 Minute

My morning walk took me out by the beach (as usual) but this morning there was quite a commotion. I’m assuming some kind of small fish washed up en masse, because there were rival gangs of ravens and black tailed kites tussling over *something* out there. But, to be honest, they weren’t tussling that hard. So there must have been a lot of whatever it was.

A black tailed kit swoops low over a gray, smooth sea.
Swoop
A few large brown raptors and black ravens are on a sandy, grassy beach. Mostly they are hidden by downward slope. In the foreground, a raven appears to be fleeing a raptor, flying toward the camera.

Two ravens and a black tailed kite are standing on a beach littered with driftwood. The ravens are staring at the kite, which is staring back.
