We were out early this morning, took it slow on the drive down to Santa Ana due to thick fog. It was still foggy enough on the hike out to Pintail Lake that nothing was stirring. By the time we were actually on the shore the fog was starting to lift - still hazy, but I shot photos as I could see. Some photos may be a little fuzzy, but I trust they will capture the feeling.

By the time we were on the way back it was not exactly sunny, but clear enough to get a couple of crisper photographs.

Maybe time for a beer now. -

Love the atmosphere that fog creates. Some nice Dowitcher photos, and I really like the Altamira and the Black-necked Stilt. By the way, that's NOT a Lincoln's Sparrow. It's a female Red-winged Blackbird. Those females are always being mistaken for some other bird.
Slipshod birder that I am, I didn't really even give it a second look.
I enjoy it. You're keeping it real.
