Another day without me in California and Chrissy finds another way to avoid spending time with my parents. Today she spent the morning at Bolsa Chica Ecological Reserve.
FYI, I am trying to identify these birds but I am not saying I have all of them correctly identified. So if you know I got one wrong, please let me know. Most of the birds come here to eat in the shallow water. I believe this is an American Coot.
It is much easier to identify when it's head is visible.
