In spite of high winds and intermittent showers, our intrepid birders scored with a pair of Aplomado Falcon near the Tower Gate. Another highlight was the large numbers of White Pelicans (600) engaged in synchronized feeding on Laguna Larga near the second bridge. Good comparisons of both morphs of Reddish Egret, too.
