Fall migration will keep away my post-salton blues for a while.<br /><br />The Gull-billeds will be leaving this month, but Stilt Sands will be there through next spring. Bowles has been consistently very good for them this year, although last time I saw a bunch around Morton Bay as well.Seagull Stevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01851438505719552645noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7172285466289881050.post-48111034318942475502012-09-20T15:03:31.024-07:002012-09-20T15:03:31.024-07:00Yes.

There used to be quite a few spots that looked like this, but now they are either inaccessible or a little less birdy.<br /><br />It was scorching when I was there last, but its probably beginning to cool off now.Seagull Stevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01851438505719552645noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7172285466289881050.post-76731789939979551802012-09-20T12:02:46.948-07:002012-09-20T12:02:46.948-07:00Yes, I slew my babies and headed over finally this...Yes, I slew my babies and headed over finally this September. Isn't it nice when infanticide and birding can come together, and with such spectacle!?<br /><br />That Black Tern formation is pretty phenomenal, very Luftwaffe of them. <br /><br />I've got to go back for the Gull-billed Terns, and if there are still Stilt Sandpipers with them, well, that'd be might fine. Now that you're in Oakland, the Sea is a much longer drive for you. How are you coping?Laurence Butlerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14766876797454283812noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7172285466289881050.post-87555946575369019012012-09-20T11:17:45.556-07:002012-09-20T11:17:45.556-07:00Holy fuck that is a lot of birds.

Is it still scorching hot there? Jen Sanfordhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08932953314258705622noreply@blogger.com
