Birds -- Santa Barbara, December 2011

We visited Santa Barbara December 11-15, 2011, and I photographed some birds on the beach, with special attention to the wintering flock of Black Skimmers. Selected pictures below, plus one taken on the drive down from Palo Alto, a Yellow-billed Magpie at the southbound 101 rest area near Camp Roberts.
