Bolsa Chica Wetlands

In the last year you might have noticed a lot more sunset shots and shots from the wetlands.  Well with the wife and kids all working evening shifts I have a lot of night home alone and I just don't want to sit in an empty house.  So I will head out to the beach for a sunset or hit the wetlands to see what's out.
 
Well this past Saturday was just one of those nights, so I took the drive to the wetlands and did my thing.  It was a great night to be out and the activity was real nice.
 
Lets start with a ruffled Snowy White

While walking along a trail to see if any hawks were out I found this guy sunning himself on the trail.  He allowed me to get pretty close before taking off back into the brush.

I think something scared this Snowy White as he looks like he simply jumped straight up, almost out of his claws.
 

 
Had a few Brown Pelicans fishing and sunning.
