What’s Up? <\/h3>\n

Despite the preponderance of tame Long-billed Curlews, Marbled Godwits, and Western Gulls in gorgeous breeding plumage, the folks on the Morro Bay Canon Destination workshop were a bit tuckered out from our long Saturday beach walks. And they wanted some variety. In search of that, we spent about two hours with a very handsome and very cooperative male Anna’s Hummingbird. Nobody was bored. <\/p>\n

I pack tonight. I will be getting up quite early as my Monday flight to Phoenix departs San Luis Obispo at 6:20am. From there it is on to MCO where Jim will be picking me up at about 4:30pm. Good luck with my 40 minute connection time…. <\/p>\n

This blog post took less than an hour to prepare and was published at 9:02pm on Sunday, two minutes past midnight on Monday on the east coast. Good night. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
