Birding down from Ventura

Wheeler's Gorge I've already mentioned.

Then, birded around Ventura;

Camarillo Real Park

Eh, not very interesting. Spotted a Robin though, Robin is one of the easiest birds to spot since it forages on the ground!

VENTURA WATER TREATMENT PLANT WILDLIFE PONDS

Very nice, there was a separate entry for us birders!  Some Ruddy Ducks methink? Other than the usual Mallards and Coots.  There even were babies following their mother lol. And others too, should check the photos again.

Ventura Harbor

So-so methink? Should also check the photos.  Oh there were tons of House Sparrows nesting on the Palm Trees!!!

Marina Park

A pair of Loons!  It wasn't transparent, almost white, white-grey, which specie is it. Also Grackle, Cowbirds, Blackbirds, Gulls..

Mugu Lagoon

There were a vista point, and one could park along PCH-1 S at some points, so could see some shorebirds.  A scope surely would be good.

La Jolla Canyon and Big Sycamore Canyon

Bird songs but couldn't really spot..but at BSC, spotted 4 Green Parrots or Parakeets! There are easiest to spot since they are so noisy lol. Oh at one of those spots, at a higher point spotted a No. Mockingbird, a rarity in those areas(which is so common around Pasadena lol).

Malibu Lagoon

THOUSANDS of Terns, thought it was Caspian but SMBAS reports that it is Elegant, considering the crest it surely seems so. There were Cedar Waxwings? Didn't know that. Lots of Brown Pelicans and Gulls as usual.  And spotted an Osprey eating lunch! SMBAS confirmed it too. Some crows, Egrets...as SMBAS report said, few passerines and Plovers.
