The black skimmers were out and for the first time at this spot, I saw some skimming.
It's hard to resist the reddish egrets.
A few American Pelicans were out.
An osprey was flying overhead too

Bolsa Chica: Rails, Skimmers, and more
Stopped by Bolsa Chica last weekend since the Ridgeway Rails chicks have hatched. With a little patience and a little luck, I was able to find a family.

Egrets of Bolsa Chica
We went to Huntington Beach to escape the heat and decided to go birding at Bolsa Chica. The Reddish Egret was our prime target, and we were not disappointed. There were at least four, including one in a narrow channel area with good lighting. We watched him for 15 minutes as he fished, spreading his wings to create some shade to help in the process.
We also saw a snowy egret and a light-footed clapper rail.
We were also looking for black skimmers but only saw one from a distance.
