A hike at Ellwood

It was a foggy day on my hike at Ellwood.  I saw some California Towhee's.

They really blend into the environment.

Overhead I heard the honking of a flock of Canadian Geese.

Foot path down to the beach.

A fishing boat was floating in the calm ocean surrounded by a few gulls, kelp and lobster trap bouys.


Helium balloons floating in the ocean.  I hope a fisherman brings them in before they deflate and get ingested by wildlife.  A reminder, do not release helium balloons into the sky.  They end up in the ocean and whale, seals and other wildlife mistake the balloons for food.


On the way back I saw several Black Phoebes.
