5 CA least terns seen while body boarding. They swooped within a few feet of me a few times.

They (2) were circling above the legendary Wind N' Sea surf break. They were good entertainment between sets.

These were interesting. They were very large, the tube being about 10 cm tall, sticking straight up out of the mud. I saw many tubes, all coated with the same white sponge (tunicate?), but this was the only worm I saw that was out of its tube.

If you've seen the jellies at the Monterey Bay Aquarium, you've seen this guy. This was a smaller, stupider example, who seemed dead set on ramming himself into a clump of eel grass, repeatedly.

The rock crab on the left seemed like it was mating (it was holding on to another crab with its rear legs). The crab on the right seemed to have a problem with that.

I've been watching the juvenile white plumage being replaced by adult blue. This bird is about 1 year old, one of last years chicks.

As usual, very common at Pigeon, though I didn't sea any of the bright red morph. It was cool seeing these in the wild and then seeing them later in the aquarium.

The only other time I've seen B. californicus was in pretty much exactly the same spot, with Gary.
