Thanks, Edu, Tukayo, Tins and Ely for your kind comments. Tonji Ramos, by all means come visit the USA. Birds are more approachable here. If you come to Southern California by February, I'll be happy to show you around.

A recent trip to Cabrillo Beach in San Pedro, Ca gave us some nice views of four species. One of which, the King Eider, is a rarity. Birders from as far as San Diego came to see this bird. King Eider - juvenile male 40D, 100-400@380mm, ISO-320, 1/500, f8, handheld The Eider has landed - the bird is almost always swimming but we were lucky that it came ashore for a short while. Red-throated Loon - nonbreeding plumage 5D2, 700mm, ISO-320, 1/640, f9, tripod A Loon at Last - it's been a while since we last saw a loon. Brant Goose 40D, 100-400@400mm, ISO-320, 1/640, f9, handheld You make me feel Brant new - another species we haven't seen in a while Mew Gull 40D, 100-400@400mm, ISO-320, 1/1000, f11, handheld My Gull, talking about my gull - a lifer!

Wow! Everything is just so perfect! I wish I could have these kind of photos, especially given the conditions they were shot.

Happy, happy birthday, Ted! May you have many more -birding filled - years to come.
Cynthia and I will be at the bay area this new year weekend and we *might* (if time allows) visit the Sacramento Wildlife Refuge.
