Hi Alex, I though that might be the case. Any chance you guys could identify your spottings yourselves? It's very easy to do a web 'images' search, such as, typing in: "shore birds California", and then searching the photos for your bird, bug etc. And, when someone else gives you an ID in the comments, could you at least add the ID and/or wiki links to the appropriate fields yourselves. It would be much appreciated.

Hi Alex. It's a Brown pelican: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brown_pelican p.s. what does "olu" mean? Is it a school, or a domain, etc?
