I had the honor and great pleasure of leading several trips and
participating in others with the San Diego Bird Festival this year!
Here is the second page with a small handful of the hundreds of pics taken
that week.

Day 3 (continued) -
Friday
|
Royal Tern
Dolphins were active in the cove and Pelagic Cormorants were
feeding in the heavy surf at the rocks. |
The others left after about an hour and the rain picked up and
slowed but I very much enjoyed the rest of the morning sitting on
that bench in the rain.

Day 5 - Sunday, Coronado

The Saturday trip was great although I took very
few pics that day. Some of the best birds of the day were
Brown Boobies and this imm. Glaucous Gull

Day 6 -
Monday, Coronado Islands Pelagic trip

San Diego Bay

Sunrise was truly spectacular as we headed out on
the second pelagic trip. |

We found the Glaucous Gull on the
islands along with several Glaucous-winged and Western Gulls this
time. Brown Boobies were seen again as well as numerous Black
Oystercatcher and Black x American hybrids.

Several Gray
Whales were seen and some put on a bit of a show. Dolphins riding
the bow are always a treat. Sea Lions were numerous and we got to see several elephant
seals including a huge male.
