Hi Folks,
I birded Huntington Beach S.P. solo today covering most areas including
the old entrance road, carriage path, causeway at low tide, sandpiper pond
and the jetty ponds. A mostly cloudy and very windy day near gale force on
the beach from the south. 70 species from 7:30 AM to 3 PM. Some good birds
for the outer coastal plain and they are in caps.
