I spent a bit of time yesterday playing with the bigma on the K-3II at
Moss Landing. I got a bunch of a great egret right by hwy 1, a couple
snow egrets, something grey, a bunch of LBBs and one of a sea otter.
I don't have any stand out amazing ones, but a fair number that are
clear enough to ID the birds.

And a friend took a go at IDing the birds:
You are right about the egrets, great shots all around! After the first
series of Great Egrets, you caught photos of a Clark's Grebe (look up
the similar species Western Grebe), followed by a Black-necked Stilt
(who has really long legs, but its standing in water so it doesn't look
tall in your photos). Next bird looks like a female Brewer's Blackbird,
but blackbirds are tricky... The stripe-y sparrow looks like a
Golden-crowned Sparrow, followed by the Snowy Egrets. The one after that
is tricky, but I think it's a Yellowlegs who is hiding it's distinctive
bright yellow legs. They come in two sizes and can be hard to tell
apart. The Great Blue Heron is the last bird in your series. Looks like
you had a great day! Thanks for tagging me! It was fun to ID the
shorebirds hiding their legs.
