Tags: birds, wegu?, fun fact: I have anchored my own boat near that cove, just the other side of those rocks in the distance, p sure I've climbed that ladder, b/c I believe this is scorpion anch at santa cruz, need to go back, actually i've got a ticket in march to do the scrub-jay pelagic trip, which is the trip island packers runs every spring, so dumbass birdwatchers, who really need their year and/or life list to include north america's, only island endemic species, can go there and see the island scrub jays.
