Timber and I did a photography trip to Santa Cruz yesterday with Devin, and while we were out and about looking for cool things to practice on we ran across a few birds that I thought were interesting. I've never really been into "birding", but I think I may become more interested in birds as the years go by. The two birds of note from yesterday were the Clark's Grebe and the American Black Oystercatcher. I won't bore you with the details of these birds because you can click on the links for them and read about them to your heart's content. What I will say is that I've never seen a Clark's Grebe in Santa Cruz before and that American Black Oystercatchers are really cool birds with a really cool call. So if you want to see these birds and lots of seagulls head down to Santa Cruz.
