"Can someone go over there?"
Over the Pond, I was sighting the camera, standing at the Cinder Block Wall...
"No, it's private, no trespassing..."
"What Bird is that?"
"Cormorants...over there, Canada Geese, there, Shovel Nose Ducks, Coots, Mallards, Snowy Egret, the chattering sound is King Fisher, very pretty bird with long beak, 'bout this size...catches fish..."
"It's so dirty..."
"Yes, maybe some volunteers could clean it up."
Walls and Fences surround the Pond, and Mornings I've been carrying the camera, and coffee from the Donut Shop, peering over trying to get Kingfisher's pic...for several days, much Kingfisher laughter, but yesterday, a little luck.
Before Sunup, I roll over to Denny's for Breakfast, then the Donut Shop--croussant and coffee, and then Home, with maybe pics in Frontyard or Backyard--Hummingbird, Cat, pics up--then a nap--a routine brought about by playing the video game nearly all night! That, and age--with age one's circadian rhythm goes south!
Canada Geese on Ball Field, and Power Pole workers by the Pond...
Seagulls atop roof near the Sumba Dance Studio. Seeing camera pointed their way, dancer thought to chastise me for taking Sumba pics..."No, no..Birds..."...sheesh...

Ha, your kingfisher pic is about as good as I can get, too. I love the sounds they make. I'm trying to track down where one might be nesting along the marina. It's great that you're seeing so many birds in what appears to be such an urban area.
Kingfisher nest would be a real prize!
