Surf Scoter, Melanitta perspicillata; Bolsa Chica Wetlands;
Hunting Beach, California
While Attending the North American Nature Photography
meeting in San Diego this week a friend and I headed out to Bolsa Chica
Wetlands to do a little photography.
While the light was not a as I would have preferred, the birds were
incredible. The last Surf Scoter I saw was
in Haines, Alaska way back in 1981. I
was so excited to see this and other Surf Scoters at Bolsa Chica.
Surf Scoters are just beautiful. I find black-and-white birds gorgeous anyway,
but add a touch of color, and these beauties really shine! On top of, just a looking good, the scoters
were busy feeding on muscles, providing a great photo opp.
