Crab fest

Hundreds of thousands of beautiful blue crabs descended on this small mud flat at Stockton mud flats while I was photographing birds there.  Why, I'm not sure (maybe a mass breeding orgy?) but it was a truly amazing spectacle.  I've never seen so many crabs in one place.  It was awe inspiring.

    What an amazing thing to see. I love the bird pictures, especially the reflections. Has to be a better way to spend the day than working!
