This is in Man and Fauna because the sand where they are eating had been upturned by the spinning tire of an automobile making the sand fleas and other treats easily accessible.  Cars are allowed on a lot of the beach on the Long Beach Peninsula (when the tide is out, the hard sand is considered a state highway).

Canon 7D; 1/1000th; 6.3; 200 ISO; HH; added some contrast and sharpening.

I wish this image was a lot sharper.  I like the concept, but for me, I need more detail to make it work.  Exposure looks good and I like the composition.  Thanks for sharing.

Congrats on the EP!
Love this - and the one darker, clear bird at the top anchors the image.
Well done!
