Sea Otters (Enhydra lutris), Moss Landing Harbor, Monterey County, California - 27 December 2012. I counted forty sleeping and grooming themselves in the morning sun here today. From what I can glean from a quick look at my reference books and the internet, these rafts are likely single-sex groupings and the white-headed individuals are probably the older otters.

I observed four separate groups of pelicans flying in lines, one behind another.

Group one had six birds; group two had eight; group three had thirteen; group four had four pelicans.

The birds were flying north to south, over the surf line, adjacent to the beach.

Description: yellowish-tan with whitish stripe behind beak; stripe runs down neck from top to bottom; body grayish-brown.

I sat at the picnic table with a sandwich in hand. Four pigeons flew in and landed on the table, about 2' from me.

Each pigeon appeared to be an adult. Appearance: head, neck solid, dark gray; body, lighter gray; wings three stripes (dark/light/dark) from front edge to back edge of wing; tail same shade of dark gray as head/neck, with some white.

One pigeon repeatedly tried to take the sandwich out of my hand or get into my lunchbox, and flew away when I waved my hand and said "Get away!"

This is the first time I have experienced such close-up, aggressive behavior from a pigeon!
