I arrived back from a 10 day trip to Monterey, California last night.  I was visiting my daughter and her family and got to see my new grand-daughter Camille for the first time.

They made sure to take me lots of places where I could get photos of new and different birds and animals.  Here is a list of the bird and animal species that I will be posting over the next few months (most of which were firsts for me):

Pelicans, Cormorants, Gulls, Geese, Ducks, Coots, Acorn Woodpeckers, Golden-crowned Sparrows, Savannah Sparrows, Townsend's Warblers, Stellar's Jays, Western Scrub Jays, Eurasian Collared Doves, Chestnut-sided Chickadees, Oregon Juncos, Brewers Blackbirds ...

Brown Squirrel, Ground Squirrel, Seals, Otters, Sea Lions ...
