Ten Mile Beach in Fort Bragg, CA...

Now that it's summertime, how 'bout we take a trip to the beach?

Here are a few of the birds we saw on Ten Mile Beach in Fort Bragg, CA...

This is our first ever Semipalmated Plover and Dunlins!

And, yep, you guessed it, our first ever Surf Scoter!

And there are the females...

Today our adventures at the coast continue with some more beach birds!

As we were leaving the Mendocino Headlands State Park, we just happened to see this beautiful Great Blue Heron in someone's front yard.

It must be amazing to be able to see this kind of wildlife right out your front door!

Okay, now off to MacKerricher State Park.

We saw this group of Cormorants hanging out at Lake Cleone...

The lake advertises herons, but we didn't see any there!

And here's the Main Beach:

Stay tuned tomorrow for some cute little shorebirds!

These birds sure have a gorgeous playground, don't they?

I could have watched these Dunlin play chicken with the waves all day!

And that wraps up our trip to the coast. Already can't wait to go back!
