Lately the tide has been rather high during the day, but today there was a low tide around 6PM so I made a quick jaunt down to Shoreline Park and the Harbor hoping to see some shorebirds. There have been a few reports of a Black Oystercatcher around, and this would be a great bird to see - I have not seen one on the mainland in Santa Barbara County, only at the Channel Islands.
Unfortunately for the birds lots of people had also figured out it would be low tide so there were far more people than birds on the beach. I also made a quick stop at the harbor breakwater. The most interesting thing that I saw there were 5 Black Turnstones. They were more interested in feeding than posing for pictures.
After today the year's total still stands at 242.
