In early January we spent a few days at Morro Strand State Beach, one of our favorite campgrounds due to easy access to a great beach for walking and usually lots of birds.
Looking towards Morro Rock
The old PG&E smokestacks in the mist
Looking north up the coast
Marbled Godwits probing for food
Long-billed Curlew
A Willet taking off
Whimbrel
Shells on the beach, including lots of sand dollars (mostly broken)
Remains of a sand dollar left on a dune
We saw many of these pink sea cucumbers washed up on the beach.
The waves are always impressive.
The wind blown spray was catching sunlight just right for rainbow colors.
