Franklin's Gull @ Dairy Mart Sod Farm 4/15/2007 : New Page 1 John Morgan, Dan Baumann and I found a Franklin's Gull at the Dairy Mart Sod Farm (GPS) just as we were wrapping up birding for the day. A true team effort. I spotted a single gull in the northern part of the sod farm and drove towards it. John Morgan shouted "It's got a black head!". Dan Baumann didn't take his eyes off the bird until we managed to drive closer to it. It wasn't very cooperative, flying more than it was on the ground. Then we all stared at it for several minutes in spotting scopes, photographing and referring to our field guides trying to determine if we were right...A FRANKLIN'S GULL!!!! Then we started to call everyone we could with the news. The bird appeared to be in breeding plumage with a slight peach color visible on it's breast.

Indian Canyons Hummingbirds 11/24/2006 : While visiting my Mom in Palm Springs we visited Indian Canyons the ancestral home of the Agua Caliente Band of Cahuilla Indians While visiting my Mom in Palm Springs we visited Indian Canyons the ancestral home of the Agua Caliente Band of Cahuilla Indians. It was a beautiful place with tons of Palm Trees, great hiking, birding. On the way out we had lunch by the gift shop and they had some Hummingbird feeders out. WOW! I've never seen so many hummingbirds in my life. I didn't have a lot of time but still managed to get a few good photographs.

Brown Booby @Tijuana River Mouth 10/2/2006 : Dan Baumann and I went out to the Tijuana River Mouth at 3:30PM today in search of the recently reported Brown Booby. After 2 hours of continuous searching I spotted a Brown Booby at 5:32 PM perfectly lined up with the Coronado Islands. It was easy to get Dan on the bird using the islands as a reference and we observed the bird fly north to about the IB Pier and then start to fly south again, repeatedly diving for fish. We estimate the bird was about 1 mile off shore. We finally lost the bird at 6PM while it was flying south in the direction of the Coronado Islands. Here's the photo's I got putting the lens up to the eyepiece of my spotting scope. I apologize for the poor quality, but I think they are good enough to determine it's a Booby. We got a few good looks at the underwing and believe it was an adult Brown Booby. CBRC Record 2006-140
