Moss Landing in April and May

On Saturday April 21st my wife and I made our first trip of the year to the coast, and we spent a couple of hours along Jetty Road and the Beach at Moss Landing. We saw all the things we had expected to except Brown Pelicans. The only loon was a Pacific Loon. A surprise was a single Brant near the gulls in the harbour.


We returned when our son was visiting on Saturday May 26th, and this time the Brown Pelicans were back. There were a few Heerman's Gulls on the pier across the harbor, and both Common and Red-throated Loons (but no Pacific.)
