Habitat on Morro Rock

Photo made with a Canon 20d and 70-200 f2.8 lens

Another image from my trip to Morro Bay and Rock. I was honestly blown away with the oddity of Morro Rock just poking up out of no where. The wildlife loved it. This picture is showing the many varied gulls and other sea birds that use the rock for habitat for mating or whatever they have in mind.

As you circle around the rock it is amazing to see different ecosystems that are in place just around the corner. This was primarily gull nests and perches. The other side was dominated my Cormorants and an area in between is primarily habitat for sparrows from what I could see just considering the birds and not even mammals insects or whatever else may have been out there.

Understanding what life is doing and where they like to do their thing is key to getting great photographs, and the opportunity to make those photographs. Always be sure to so some research to understand better what is going on in the subjects life and you will be in a much better place to get the photos you want!

Have a great day and happy shooting...
