Highlights from the week's highlight

I can't resist posting more photos from our blogger meet-up Bolsa Chica nature-fest! Most of these have been cropped and enlarged for your viewing pleasure. I hope you enjoy these even slightly as much as I do.


This is one of the fuzzy-poof baby terns.


One of the smoothhound sharks we saw in the estuary


A cute little piper couple, out on a hot dinner date


Look at the beak on this guy! Size does matter, apparently.


OMG, OMG, OMG! I actually got a mostly unblurry shot of them skimming!

These guys send me into waves of awe. (Click to embiggen this one.)

Consider this our official blogger meet-up photo. :-)

Wow! The skimmer photo is fantastic! I love the tern pic too! What a great evening it was! It's great to see the photos.

i think the skimmers are becoming some sort of an icon. i keep thinking about their mellow call and silent water-drawing.

I particularly like the tern photo.
