Back at Bodega location hoping to get photos of the Lucy's Warbler, but a Townsend Warbler did show up

All the small birds at the Bodega location had a buildup of some kind of black substance, maybe tar, from someplace where they have all been feeding.  There was some speculation that it is gum from nearby Eucalyptus trees, but others disputed that.

Kinglets were also in the area, this one had a pretty bad substance buildup, but seemed to be very lively and was feeding.

Brown Pelicans were diving against the bright morning light of a beautiful clear day at the coast.

Snowy Egret landed very near me, eager to get some of the fish the pelicans were catching

Townsend or hermit warblers, we saw huge flocks of them this weekend. We need a Brigid to help us identify them. When I looked them up I had no idea there were so many warblers. Love those kestrel shots!
