These Are the Creatures in My Neighborhood: Bolsa Chica Birds

I added a belted kingfisher to my list of birds. There was quite a glare, so I didn't get as good a look at it as I'd have liked.

I saw her when on the Bolsa Chica Conservancy's monthly guided tour which I thoroughly enjoyed and highly recommend. We took the full two hours and covered quite a bit of the reserve. One caveat: People with strollers had difficulty and turned back a the stairs, and it was hard on those with toddlers as well.
