California Sea Lion
Joe Morlan's Ornithology class field trip. What a stellar and beautiful sunny morning with clear skies, no wind. A bit cool starting off in the shade but it warmed up nicely (58-70), walked around the CuriOdyssey museum, lots of beautiful bird song in the Eucalyptus trees, and then drove over to the Yacht Harbor and walked along the shoreline to the harbor mouth and back again. Some continued on for some snipe hunting in the fresh water marsh south of the parking lot. I probably missed a few birds because of getting distracted by the Schipperke pups.
