Cute Things

When we were at the Coast last month, we went one day to the Elkhorn Slough in Moss Landing. We walked around there, and saw plenty of bird wildlife. Afterwards, we stopped at the beach there for lunch and to let the kids play on the beach. They had a lot of fun playing in the waves. Daddy had a bit of fun too taking pictures. These little sanderlings were running along the beach while we were there, scooping up little tidbits to eat that they found on the shoreline. They let me get pretty close to them, until a jogger came running along to the beach and scared them away. All in all, it was a very fun day.

    Nice shot, Leon! I always enjoy watching these guys run along the beach. Did you stop by the Moss Landing State Beach by the mouth of Elkhorn Slough — that’s my favorite place to go see sea otters, they’re almost guaranteed to be floating just below the parking lot cliff.

    Thanks Pat. No, we did not go to that beach there. I wish I knew about it. We did see sea otters though, down at Point Lobos.
