Bird Island

There are several small islands within a few miles of our beach. I don't know if they have official names, but we made up our own names for them. Our favorite is Bird Island because of the variety and abundance of birds. Pelicans, osprey, gulls, blue footed boobies, oyster catchers, etc. It's odd to see pelicans perched on the bluff amid cacti and other desert plants.

We paddle over there often with our binoculars and cameras. Donna and Kai did some snorkeling there too.

Spotted this oyster catcher hanging out with a pelicano.

This handsome osprey was eating a snack while perched on a cactus.
