Birds -- Central California, October 2011

I was in Morro Bay October 8-11, and spent mornings doing some bird photography. Didn't get the lens on any rarities (though I tried for reported warblers at Pecho Willows), but got some pix of local regulars, mostly at Morro Bay Marina, including Long-billed Curlews, Brown Pelicans, Elegant Terns, and Cooper's and Red-shouldered Hawks.
