We recently spent several days at Morro Bay State Park meeting up with some of of our Lazy Daze Motorhome friends. I spent some time wandering along the edge of the slough and tidal flat parts of Morro Bay and was able to photograph several shore birds.
I don't remember seeing Canada Geese in this area before.
Lots of Turkey Vultures around
This curlew was planning on crab for lunch.

This little Pie-billed Grebe was having fish for lunch.

We found a few sea otters near Morro Rock in the entrance channel to the harbor.
I believe that this is a Red-shouldered Hawk.

The bee was a "happy accident". I didn't even notice it when I was shooting the flower.
This Peregrine Falcon was eating something in a hollow on the side of the cliff at Montana de Oro State Park.
There were three Peregrine Falcons (possibly two males and one female) interacting fairly high up in the sky. I'm guessing that it was some form of courtship behavior.
