Ghostly birds at the beach
During the drive north on Pacific Coast Highway this morning, a wall of fog stood past Superior Avenue and Cappy's Cafe. The fog completely erased the sunshine that lit my apartment just two miles away.
As my car crossed the channel where the Santa Ana River flows into the ocean, two Black Skimmers flew low over PCH. A smile lit up my face. Those birds are so cool.
My 30-minute walk on the damp sand didn't reveal many birds other than the usual gull gang. I had the place mostly to myself, soaking up this scene.
Maybe the next scavenger hunt -- because that's what birding walks are, right? -- will reveal more avian prizes. Good luck with your hunts this weekend!

Cool video Amy. It's so unlike any view I could find here in Minnesota. It would be nice to see that stretch of beach feel like I had it to myself for a while.
Glad you liked it, Lynne. Perhaps more beach videos will appear this summer.
I hopped over from KatDoc's blog. I'm glad I found you and look forward to reading your archives this evening. Nice video.
Thank you for the kind words. Happy reading!
