Early bird gets the bird…and the marine layer.

This morning we got up early to arrive at our old home beach in Del Mar two hours after high tide. But today, high tide meant HIGH tide, so we couldn’t access much sand. We had a plan B and walked down to the San Dieguito Lagoon. We passed several bird nerds, and thought maybe we are bird nerds too. One lady with a nice L-lens, and a big cotton t-shirt that said VOLUNTEER San Diego Lagoon Conservancy, lamented the fog, but also said it was probably good that she wouldn’t see much, because she had 1400 photos to edit from her birding session the day before. Looks like Mike and Julia already have an Osprey recorded 😉 so we’ll share here that she did let us know that the resident Osprey has laid her eggs and in 4-6 weeks the chicks should be visible above the deep nest.
