IMG 6109  How to be prepared. IMG 6111  Koba and I were a bit late but we were also prepared. IMG 6116  Always with the ears. IMG 6120  Some dog jumped right over this bird. The phone's auto lookup stuff had no guesses. IMG 6121  It was not a well bird. No visible injuries. Just barely animated. IMG 6130  We moved off a distance and Koba chased the ball a bit.
IMG 6142  Rough shore break surf today. IMG 6146  Vultures have surrounded the bird. IMG 6153 IMG 6155  Vultures only eat dead things, so this waiting ritual is a bit surprising. IMG 6156 IMG 6157
IMG 6158 IMG 6159 IMG 6160 IMG 6161  From here I shot a video which is stored elsewhere. I don't think the vultures ever got this bird though. IMG 6162 IMG 6163
IMG 6164  No eggs benedict within cycling distance so lunch today is leftover chile verde burrito. IMG 6165  Not a bad habit to keep. IMG 6168  That whole outflow of fresh water is gone today. IMG 6169  Nice shot but let's get the whole rock in. IMG 6172  Whole rock: check. Dog holding the pose: Not so much. IMG 6190  How about fetching a stick today.
IMG 6193  The thing with Mr. Chompy here and sticks, is the sticks get shorter just about every time he fetches them. IMG 6195 IMG 6197  That seabird that was on the sand isn't there anymore. The tide has been rising. IMG 6198 IMG 6200  Did not expect to see wood for sale here! IMG 6201
IMG 6203  It is getting cold as the sun is even getting close to the horizon. Fire it up. IMG 6209  Peak sunset. IMG 6211  Spicy korean pork and rice. Yum. IMG 6213  Time to log onto the fire. IMG 6215  It is big but it is burning with some enthusiasm. IMG 6218  Milky Way check.
