This Image was taken at the rookery just north of San Simeon 2 years ago. I hope these animals fared ok this year, in may be a bad pupping season for them with all the big surf.
I love the sounds of a Redwing Blackbird, I am always reminded of my youth, fishing with my brothers early in the morning at the lake. Nature sounds are so soothing to the soul.
Yes, since I have moved to northern Washington I have missed all the great sunrises we had in California. Does make me appreciate the ones we do get though.
Eric The photograph was taken along the California coast between Santa Cruz and Pescadero near Pigeon Point Lighthouse. I believe it is a White Tailed Kite.
