The second bird class field trip -- Bolsa Chica Wetlands. I have to admit I am way out of my depth (such as it is) with shore birds; I'm much more a woodland kind of guy. I was struggling to keep up with the onslaught of varieties and fighting horrible gray light that didn't burn away until we were ready to leave, of course. I filled 1 1/2 16gig cards, but only managed about 85 keepers, so my average was pretty damn poor.
And don't worry, I won't be post them all.
