Pigeon Guillemot
Taken this morning at Haystack Rock on the Oregon coast at the first Minus tide of the summer.
For those not familiar, these off shore nesting birds are hundreds of yards or miles out most time but 2 or 3 times a year
the tides get low enough to have a chance if you get good light and weather which has to occur at
low tide at 8 am, a very low chance.
The only chance to get these birds like these and Murres in flight.
They are Rockets!
Degree of difficulty is very high, hand holding and shooting while standing in Oregon coast surf.
This is the best photography that I do, the most challenging and fun!
