Beach Birds

I couldn't go on a trip & not look for birds. What appeared to be a family of purple martins were visable in a neighboring yard. The two other shots were taken on my journey to sunset beach. I very much wanted to get a good image of these graceful birds, unfortunately they were in a construction area with little room to park, even less for photography with a tripod. I had to settle with some quick shots with a smaller lens than I wanted.
