My first sighting of this small sea bird, but known to all as a species endangered by the loss of old growth forest (like the spotted owl), and adversely impacted by logging. ![]() Many terns were diving in the bay, along with pelicans. I believe these are common terns. Some inland areas around Bodega Bay are known in the birding world as "vagrant traps," meaning unusual species are often seen there. It can get rather crazed with whole troops of birders descending on the area at certain times, so I don't frequent it too often. But the other day, it was quiet and no one else was there, so I braved a venture up the well-traveled and trampled path that is known as Owl Canyon.
