It definitely is! I keep a list of how many species I've seen in the wash behind my house.
I will, now that you mention it that actually seems kind of fun.
Excellent. You have seen a lot of species at Bolsa Chica over the years. You should make a location list!
I almost mist it, I saw it practically as I was getting into my car!
There were at least ten other people that looked like they were going to kill each other just to get a picture! It was very neat to see, And a very good one to end on too!
Ahh! Several birders said they saw one the last time I was at Bolsa Chica and my Dad and I spend literally an hour waiting for it to appear, but it didn't. Great find Des!
