This is from Fort Desoto's east beach last April. There wasn't any shorebirds to shoot that afternoon but I knew you can always count on gulls.
I had my extender on my lens thinking it would be to short but I kept having to back up. I need to remember how tame Florida birds are lol.
Taken about 30 min before sunset .
