Headed out this morning to go to the Bolsa Chica wetlands. As we passed El Dorado Park we made a spontaneous decision to go to their nature center instead. Took a 2-hour stroll down the one-mile hiking trail, stopping often to look & listen & take pictures. Didn't see many birds, although we could hear them. What we did see lots of were red ear sliders (a type of turtle) and dragonflies galore. Oh, and squirrels, some of which would come right up to you which tells me that extremely stupid people have been feeding them. The only bird we saw was a hawk (I think it was a Cooper's Hawk) which was causing a squirrel much distress. The squirrel was giving an alarm call, which is a very loud chirp like a bird. I took a little video of it (see below). After getting home & getting cleaned up, I flickred the best shots & then read. That's pretty much the whole day :-)
