I wanted to have Mac and Ritch have this great experience, but Mac caught a cold days before our appointment so it he couldn't make it. So just Ritch, June and myself were guided around Cypress Point Grove by David.
Here is a link to a list of all of the birds (at eBird.org) that were identified by David that day. Click the Bird Name to see magnificent pictures of the bird and learn more.

It turned out to be a beautiful
day on Tomales Bay. We arrived at 8 am during a low tide.

| David spotted this seal so I pointed
the camera and snapped this. I didn't realize his mouth was open. So
sorry! |
