California Towhee…in California.
Curlew in the fog, Morro Bay.
Diving Elegant Tern, Morro Bay.

Pfeiffer-Burns waterfall into the sea.
Whute-crowned Sparrow adult.
The spouting whale off Pfeiffer-Burns State Park in Big Sur. It was a humpback whale surrounded by attending Heermann’s Gulls and Sooty Shearwaters.
Above the park we saw a pair of soaring condors, giving us three on the day.
California zebra, a rare breed…actually exotic livestock on the Hearst Corporation property at San Simeon.
