Friends,
 
For anyone interested, I've uploaded a sizeable gallery from a trip I did last 
month to the west coast. This trip was planned around a Holland America 
repositioning cruise from San Diego up to Vancouver, which of course is now the 
by far easiest way to see the 3 regularly occuring species of Pterodroma 
petrels of the Lower 48 west coast (not including Mottled here). The cruise 
totalled 4 days, and I birded 6 days in southern Cal beforehand, and 4 days in 
WA State afterwards. 
 
It was a very successful trip, with an unexpected 8 ABA/life birds, plus some 
new photo birds and just good birding in general:
 
ABA/Lifers were:
 
Sooty Grouse
Gray Partridge
Hawaiian Petrel  (ABA)
Yellow-footed Gull
Island Scrub-Jay
Sky Lark  (ABA)
Hermit Warbler  (ABA)
Nutmeg Mannikin (ABA)
 
The gallery has 3 seperate sub-galleries, for the different portions of the 
trip. As usual, the photos will look best at the 'original' size under the 
photo.
 
The gallery can be found in the top row of my galleries at:

Good Birding!!
