Curling Curlew
This is from our recent trip to Santa Cruz. After lunch, we all headed down to the beach to play. The kids got extremely sandy and dirty of course, getting sand in every conceivable part of their body. Oh well, they had fun, and that’s the important part.
When we first arrived, I headed down to one end of the beach where I saw some pelicans diving for food very close to the shore. There were a lot of pelicans here, and we saw them diving during the whole time we were there. However, as soon as I arrived close, they seemed to just go away and didn’t return. There were, however, some long billed curlews here, and they let me get pretty close to take photos of them.
The beach was very crowded as one would expect on a sunny Sunday afternoon. But as I was walking down the beach, I saw a dead sea lion in the middle of the beach. The weird part about it, though, is that there were kids playing right around it. Geepers, I think I’d want to keep my kids well away from something like that. Gross.
