We’ve been really pleased with all the water birds we
stumble on daily. We have been seeing many of the birds we were used to seeing
on the Texas gulf coast. We have seen Snowy Egrets, Great Blue Herons, Green
Herons, Curlews, Snowy Plovers and Sandpipers. We may have spotted a few more,
but they were far away and we couldn’t be certain. The Woman spotted her
favorite bird nearly daily for the last week on the shores of Mission Bay – a
beautiful Little Blue Heron.
So, it’s not just the traffic that is horrendous in
California. The crowds, the lack of parking, the general congestion, the
crowded restaurants – everything is just so busy that it really dampens the
nice parts – the water, the weather, the wildlife, the restaurants and the views.
However, what might be the worst of all is trying to get diesel fuel in California,
especially in the urban areas. You can find diesel fuel pumps, you just can’t
find any that will accommodate a 40-foot motorhome towing a car!
This Curlew was outside our motorhome on Silver Strand State
Beach pretty much every morning when we went on our beach patrol. Teresa and
the Woman would grab a trash bag and pick up general beach trash, which was
everywhere. Since I didn’t have any antibacterial gloves, I just checked out
the Curlew and the hundreds of Snowy Plovers.
Talk to you soon!
