Tijuana River Estuary 11/17

Late this afternoon (Sat 11/17) there were 10 Yellow-crowned Night-Herons (1 juv, 2 subad, 7 ad) all roosting together along the channel north of the visitor center at the Tijuana Estuary in Imperial Beach.

An early evening seawatch halfway down the berm at the end of Seacoast Drive showed at least 38 Brown Boobies and a close imm Pomarine Jaeger foraging offshore with healthy numbers of gulls, terns, and pelicans.
