Photographing Wildlife at the Beach

While we were on our recent beach trip, I spotted so much wildlife, including a lot of birds. Ranging from tiny sandpipers to giant hawks, they were all amazing animals to take photos of! There were lots of sandpipers on our beach, although they moved so fast it was hard to get a photo of them. The first big wildlife break I had was with the hawk. I spotted it outside, changed my lenses, and raced down to the beach. It let me get very close to it, even though it appeared as though it was eating something. I took a lot of hawk photos (a LOT) and then headed back home when it flew off. A few days later, we made a trip to the other side of the beach, which we refer to as the end of the world. There were so many birds there it was hard to count how many I saw! There were pelicans and sandpipers and seagulls. I loved it! This was a great wildlife photography aspect of the trip!
