Arrowhead Marsh- Martin Luther King, Jr. Regional Shoreline

Beautiful little bird. Bright yellow bill and a little black eyemask. A lot of them were just chilling on the reed mats and garbage.

Possibly an immature Mew Gull in its second winter plumage

Tons of these cute little guys trilling in the coyote bushes next to the water

Several large groups of about 30-50 individuals were scattered through the pond/marsh area.

A bunch of grebes were often seen in the mix.

Boldly colored bird. The males have an awesome black eyemask! and are bright yellow.

Didn't see many raptors today. This pair was circling a building off in the distance later in the day. Maybe it was cold so there were fewer thermals to ride.

TONS! of these guys were out. It was high tide so the water flushed them out of the Spartina and reeds. We saw about a dozen of them. They are roughly the size of chickens.

Tons of these guys out in the grassy area near where the burrowing owls used to nest.

Extremely Handsome Bird

We saw both male and females near the wooden pier

On our way back to the cars, we saw three of them just walking along trail in the reeds. We startled them when we walked over to see some ducks. They are about half the size of the Clappers
