We’ve been staying indoors due to heavy smoke from a nearby wildfire, but this weekend the air cleared up a little. We can’t head up the coast due to the fires (which are still burning), so we went down to Moss Landing to look for shorebirds. The weather was gray and dark, but we managed to get a few pictures.
Every year we have to re-learn some of these birds, but we’re always happy to see them when they show up to spend the winter in our area.
