On the drive up to Fort Bragg for tomorrow’s pelagic trip, Don and I stopped at the Ukiah Sewer Ponds. Nothing unusual to report.<br /><br />Best birds were: CLARK’S GREBE, GREATER SCAUP, and SPOTTED SANDPIPER. Since I dislike the drive on Highway 20 from Willets, we decided to take Low Gap Road. This is a slow and winding dirt road, through some beautiful woodland habitat. Best bird was a single male MOUNTAIN QUAIL that Don spotted, standing on the side of the road. It was a very hot day—92F.<br /><br />We arrived in Fort Bragg about 4 pm, and met up with a lot of our friends for dinner at Silver’s at the Wharf where I am now writing this blog. We are all looking forward to tomorrow’s pelagic trip with great anticipation!<br /><br />—Debi<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/186359808590955379-6508592558607707947?l=shearwaterjourneys.blogspot.com'/></div>Debra Shearwaternoreply@blogger.com0
