Along our journey, Dennis and I had the pleasure of seeing many birds. Some of our feathered friends have moved too quickly for a photo. Here are a few photos of the ones that paused long enough for a pose or didn't see us right away.

Can't forget the roadrunner and quail!
At Monterey Wharf, this gull posed for a postcard shot!
In Redwood City south of San Francisco, the back end of the RV park backed up to Greco Island in the San Francisco Bay. Here we heard and saw egrets, herons, mallards, and geese round the clock.

These are just some of the many birds we've seen this trip. As I find more images of our feathered friends, I will update this post or create a new one.
