My beach lounge chair was basically a front-row seat for the shorebirds. A bunch of green herons were skulking about, like this one.

The green herons were shameless, edging closer and closer, posing for the camera.

And true to form, this one flew off when the pretty yellow butterfly photo-bombed it.
