Birds of Discovery Park Seattle, WA

It was a beautiful winter day in Seattle a couple weeks ago so i spend an afternoon at Discovery Park.
Seattle's biggest park it sits magically on the Puget Sound. I've spent many sunny days at discovery park as it offers biking, hiking, walking and running trails. It also provides Beach combing, tidal pools, birding viewing, a lighthouse, native plant life etc. My goal was to learn how to capture some time lapse videos but as you can see below i also captured some bird life!
If my I.D. any birds is wrong please let me know!!!

A Clammy Sunset: Discovery Park Seattle, WA




I recently visited Discovery Park in Seattle, Washington to catch some brilliant sunset scenery with my camera. Upon reaching my destination to snap some pictures I realized the tide was going out and what seemed like water being projected up from out of the recently uncovered shoreline. 
I investigated and to my amazement i realized that clams were the culprit for what seemed like water being spit from the ground.
Instead of taking pics i quickly tried my best to take a time lapse video of the sunset with the clams doing there thing!
Enjoy this amateur video!!
