Little Big Day outing #3 – 9:03 a.m., Carpinteria Salt Marsh…
Little Big Day outing #3 – 9:03 a.m., Carpinteria Salt Marsh Nature Park
Duration: 48 minutes
Species: 39 (23 new)
Running total: 65
(My original plan was to leave the marsh for later in the day. When I saw it was going to be at a 6.7 high tide early this morning, though, I figured I’d check it then for waterfowl. I’ll go back later today when it’s empty and see what’s out on the mudflats.)
