You're welcome! Also Estero Bluffs, north of Cayucos, several trailhead parking areas, can be good for raptors on the trails out to the bluffs. And if you're in MB I'd be remiss if I didn't tell you to stop at T Pier on the Embarcadero by the Great American Fish Co, several mom and pup otters lately

Whoops! Hit reply too soon!
The Marina Boardwalk (better at high tide), Morro Bay, just past the Natural History Museum (right turn into Marina entrance, then left all the way to the end of the parking lot). Good eats at Bayside Cafe at other end of the lot, a local fave.

I changed the exposure on the first one, it looks funky but you can see the ornaments a little better and my coral wreath.

Highly recommend The Backyard Bird Chronicles by renowned author @amytan.bsky.social. It even includes her own original sketches. Also was chosen as Barnes & Noble's gift book of the year! Perfect for a book and bird lover, it's beautiful.

I have a whole tree dedicated (mostly) to the ocean! Nautilus, jellyfish, sea stars, crabs, shrimp, bivalves, octos, squid, rays, sharks, whales, dolphins, manatees, otters, seabirds, fish...😀
