 A wonderful fall day at Bolsa Chica, with plenty of egrets (Great Egret). |
 From Great to Small (Snowy Egret) |
 From active (Reddish Egret) |
 to quiet pursuit (Reddish Egret) |
 and even a silent stalk (Green Heron) |

 This Short-billed Dowitcher hasn't molted out of its breeding (alternate) plumage yet |
 Willet in pickleweed and saltwort |
 Surprise! Virginia Rail! |
 Virginia Rail isn't even on the Bolsa Chica bird list but definately marsh bird |
 Endangered Belding's Savannah Sparrow in Saltwort |
 Drat, this Rock Pigeon got in the way of my photo of that egret in the background! |
 Another surprise! Dozens of very large mullet at the footbridge and tidegate (sadly, these with fin rot). |
 These topsmelt hid in our shadows, and moved when we moved! |
 You never know what characters you will encounter at BC! (Lou Murray and Vic Leipzig) |
 That's the end! |
