Earlier this month, I took a trip to the coast and visited my favorite jetty at Barnegat Lighthouse State Park. It presented me with some pretty great photo ops of Harlequins up on the rocks.
The birds were very comfortable – even when more and more photographers and admirers approached, they stayed in place.
Things got pretty crowded once the tide started coming in and the birds were a bit rowdy.
Most of them flew up to higher ground and started to settle down.
It was the perfect opportunity to just keep taking photos! Here are more – it’s hard to pick out my favorites so I will just share a lot of them. Enjoy!
