Wheww, what a morning! The rain and the wind were insistent on crashing down and around the 9 folks who came to Seal Rock for a morning of birding. Although we got pretty soaked and chilled, the experience was laughable because it reminded this writer of young kids sloshing through mud puddles in the rain! The song birds were smarter than us by hunkering down in this weather. We saw quite a few seals (thus the name Seal Rock, eh?!), crows, gulls, and sea birds. The Harlequin Ducks, Black Turnstones, Surfbirds, and a Peregrine Falcon were the hits of the day. All in all, yes we were soaked but we left with smiles on our faces!!
