www.SoCalBirding.com  The Jan 1 San Diego Field Ornithologists annual pelagic was once again sold out.  Fun was had by all.  Many participants commented on how they like the big spacious cabin on Grande with large restaurant-style booths with big windows sporting great views of the goings-on outdoors.

The birds of the day were 2 or 3 Short-tailed Shearwaters that would circle and come back, convinced that the gull flock was acting crazy for something more than just popcorn.  They would land in the wake, look underwater, then fly around Grande affording great photo opportunities.  Also seen:  a Black-legged Kittiwake and a Sooty Shearwater
