Blue sky over South Beach (near) with clouds over South Monomoy Island (far) in Chatham, MA.
There are several bird bloggers (and bird blog readers) out there that might recognize this scene from recent posts by Helena the Bird Girl, Sharon the Birdchick, Corey from 10000 Birds, Ben from 600 Birds, Julie Zickefoose, John the Born Again BirdWatcher, Birdfreak, and Dakota.
(I don't think I'm missing anybody there.)
These folks have great blogs, with great photography and excellent interesting writing that makes you want to go back again and again to see their latest posts. (The wole point of a blog, right?) I'd be remiss if I didn't mention that these, and other blogs like them, were the inspiration for me to try and carve out my own bit of the blogosphere, although frankly, I know I do not have the writing skills to ever be in the same class as these guys!
SO, if you come here only via Skywatch Friday and you have some time, check out some of these folks - you'll be glad you did!

are those specks on the ground birds?
Yup - the specks just below the midpoint/waterline are gulls (if I recall correctly they were a combination of Herring and Great Black Back Gulls). The smaller closer white specks are rocks and shells.
Cheers!

So many birds! Lovely Skywatch.
Lovely composition. Looks like a good patch for shorebirds. Happy to discover your blog through SWF. Just added a link to you.
Welcome to birding blogsphere!
A beautiful blue sky, nice photo.
Chris: A wonderful beach capture with your share of birds.
Sweet shot! Sitting here in northern Illinois I miss all the birds and the ocean.
Gotta go back sometime soon!
Magnificent sky! Excellent capture.
How nice to find you here, Chris! Thanks so much for the shout-out. I cut my teeth birding in eastern MA but somehow had never made it to South Beach. You're so lucky to be able to see all those great shorebirds, gannets, alcids even...eastern MA is the bomb.
