Shorebirds Seek Shelter From The Wind: Photos Of The Day

As wind gusts top 60 MPH at nearby San Francisco International Airport, shorebirds sought refuge in protected water.

SOUTH SAN FRANCISCO, CA — Multiple wind gusts over 60 MPH were recorded at San Francisco International Airport Tuesday afternoon, as the National Weather Service issued a high wind warning and a winter weather advisory.

The shorebirds at Oyster Point didn't need advice from the weather service as they took shelter in a protected cove, as you can see above. In the distance you can see whitecaps on San Francisco Bay.
