View from the Clement Monterey back deck.

Cormorant in the morning, looking for breakfast.

This was a big fishing area for sardines in the past - lots of docks and processing plants.

This seagull obviously wasn't interested in getting wet this morning.

On our drive down the coast. Lots of gulls.

They're loud :-)

I thought it odd to see squirrels on the rocks on the beach.

Blending in. Camo Gull.

King of the hill.

Pelicans playing king of the hill.

They're pretty cool.

We came across a cove where there were tons of pelicans and seagulls feeding on fish. The pelicans would fly around, find the fish and swoop down head first. They'd come back up with fish sometimes hanging out their bills, and the seagulls would swarm them hoping for some seconds.

Here come the gulls.

Finding its prey...

Dive! Dive! Dive!

Seagull attack.
