The pipit search

We spent several hours walking several miles in
search of Sprague's Pipits and longspurs. We missed on the pipits
but had no lack of great birding and birds!

Fly-by! |
After
watching the bird at a distance for awhile, it decided to come
take a look at us!!
|
|
It flew by
us twice and then landed at the end of the same barnacle beach we
were on!

|
The bird
|
Everyone had
awesome looks in the scope and without it!
|
|
It was so
nice of the gull to join us for a group photo!!
