One of our favorite little towns to visit to bird is Moss Landing. It has a nice marina, quaint shops and a very good Mexican Restaurant. On the north side of town is Jetty Road that takes you to parking for the surfers. This is a very popular beach for surfing.
Eared Grebe
Whimbrel
Greater Yellow-legs
Least Sandpipers
Pacific Loon
Red-throated Loon
These were just a few birds we saw on the north side of the inlet. The Sea Otters are so much fun to watch and there were a lot of them around.
On the Marina side of town Dick spotted a goose like bird on the other side and after getting the scope out we identified as a Brant Goose and this was our first time to see one.
It was so far away getting a good picture was impossible.
We also like to find birds at the Paicines Reservoir. There are 4 White Pelicans that hang out here and occasionally we have seen a Bald Eagle fly over. This day were a lot of Coots and Canadian Geese but they were too far away for photos.
We found this Snowy Egret fishing.
And even catching something.
If the weather holds we are going to The Pinnacles National Monument that is just down the road not far from here.
