Birds

My sister used to live in Morro Bay on the coast of California between San Francisco and Los Angeles. She sent me an email about birds and I really liked this paragraph:


"In Morro Bay , Guy and I used to sit on the deck and watch the birds on
the hill behind our house. We put up a hummingbird thing and had tons of
those to watch. Of course there were a million turkey vultures.(here
they are black vultures) and we saw many hawks from little ones up to
the red-tailed hawk The Kestral was a great little hawk to watch. We had
CA blue jays and scrub jays, redwinged black birds and thousands of
ocean birds flying over including white pelicans that migrated from the
Colorado river every year.Lots of doves were there all the time. Once an
endless flock of shearwaters flew just off shore for a whole day. Who
knows where they were going. There were owls but I never could spot one."

She lives in Georgia now.

I highly recommend Morro Bay. It is a beautiful town with a nice beach, plenty of good places to eat, and Morro Rock. The rock is a haystack-shaped rock that sticks up at the south end of the beach. It is the remains of an ancient volcano, and you can reach it via a causeway. You can't believe how tall it is unless you see it close up.

Don't miss the waterfront in Morro Bay.
