Orange County, California, March 2011

I squeezed in some birding during a conference held at Disneyworld in Anaheim, March 21-24, 2011. I photographed wildlife and scenery at Boca Chica Reserve near Long Beach March 22, along the inland estuaries of Irvine and Newport Bay on March 23, and at Crystal Cove State Park (Newport Beach) on March 24.
