Even after the rain Bolsa Chica was not covered in trash! The ride was low when we were there and the sandpipers were working hard to find food.
Sandpipers
great egret
snowy egret
CA gull
Migratory birds (don't know the name)
I had never been during sunset, usually I go in the morning. I find it even better to go during sunset because there are not as many people plus the birds interact with each other differently since it is the end of the day. We saw a gull drop a mussel several times to break it open and then another gull tried to steal it numerous times. It is entertaining to watch because in nature stealing is acceptable but in human society that gull would have been in trouble with the law. I want to live with the birds :)
Volunteering tomorrow morning, I think it's going to be a good one!
