Morro Bay - Western Gull - 8/18/12
There were no otters at Morro Rock on Saturday. According to the ranger and some workers at the otter trailer that was set up there, the otters took off a few hours before my mom and I arrived, probably in search of some lunch. But this handsome guy was more than happy to pose for the camera.
Morro Bay - Brown Pelican - 8/18/12
This Brown Pelican was hanging around some fishermen, hoping that they would throw him some scraps.
San Simeon - Elephant Seal - 8/18/12
This big bull was one of 2 bulls on the beach. You can see all the scars on his back from his previous battles for territory and mating rights.
San Simeon - Elephant Seal - 8/18/12
My mom and I stopped at the Elephant Seal Viewpoint in San Simeon,CA on our road trip to the beach on Saturday, Not may seals were on the beach, but a few were there, including this cute pup who was constantly flipping sand onto his back.

Lake Alpine - 7/27/12
After 5 nights of camping, I was ready to go home. But first, I had to stop by this lake, which I saw on route to the Big Meadow campground, where I camped out the last nite. It was a beautful, sunny morning at the lake. I was there early, but people were already at the lake, paddling around in their kayaks.
Lake Alpine - Bald Eagle - 7/27/12
This Bald Eagle sat up in this tree for a long, long while. He seemed pretty content with this perch, not bothered at all by the people swimming in the water below, and completely unfazed by the Osprey flying by, who seemed rather unhappy by the eagle's presence.
Calaveras Big Trees State Park - Stellers jay
The Stellers Jay is also known as the Pine Jay and Mountain Jay. They belong to the corvid family, which includes ravens, magpies, crows and nutcrackers.
Merced National Wildlife Refuge - Song Sparrow
This little Song Sparrow was singing his little heart out.
Mono Lake - 7/25/12
Mono Lake is not just for the birds....the lake is a popular kayaking and boating area, and people also swim in the lake's salty, dense waters.
