BIRD-WATCHING Ballona Wetlands, Playa del Rey

A Saturday bird-walk in a new location for me, with my new special daughter-in-law, who joined companionably into my deep delight in seeing birds.



The Wetlands is a reclamation project that seems a great success.  We saw quite a few nice birds close up and calm:  ruddy ducks, cinnamon teal, black-necked stilts, great and snowy egrets, a great blue heron, a black-crowned night heron, solitary sandpipers, and a southwestern cave swallow (likely).  Best fun was a giant plastic-looking bullfrog in the shallows, burping at us.  

Then along came two families of Canada geese to splash and play.
