Field Notes

Habitat:

saltwater and freshwater habitats, from open coasts, marshes, sloughs, riverbanks, and lakes to backyard goldfish ponds.

Notes:

I don't think I'll ever get tired of seeing this bird. The early morning light was so beautiful. The beach was empty and peaceful. It was fishing with the young Brown Pelican from this spotting:
