Russ, did you photograph all those birds in Punta Chivato? The black brant is an impressive flyer, they make a non-stop flight from Cold Bay Alaska, to the southern CA, northern Baja area!

I worked out there for a few weeks during the migration period, here is a bit about Izembeck lagoon; https://www.fws.gov/nwrs/threecolumn.aspx?id=2147524866

If you are not living on the edge, you are taking up too much space!

Baja Dogs, those tracks are not from my truck.
Why not actually go to Baja instead of following me around on Nomad to enjoy what I contribute here. Go down to the South Campos for the Christmas parade of lights and protest all the cars and buggies driving on the beach then, or come any Mexican holiday like Semana Santa and you tell the Mexicans they cannot drive on their beaches... or all the fishermen who drive by checking their fishing nets or launching their boats on the beach.

AKGringo, Oyster catchers and Black Brant shot at San Marcos Tierra but we do see both here in Chivato. Black Brant I usually see after a major storm and think they get off track. Have friends that hunt the Brant in San Quintin Bay though. Just haven't tried them because they feed on sea grasses and that doesn't sound too appetizing.
More little ones:

Take it as constructive criticism and not picking....and if you do not care....do not respond.

Back in the 90's in the springtime when I would return to my palapa on the east cape I remember finding at least 7 or 8 different species of birds who set up their nests in the shade of palm fronds.

It was a great bird show, especially with the new babies being fed constantly by the parents coming and going and reenforcing their nests with gathered material.

I also recall a snake or two trying to crawl up the posts to get at the nests. I would use a stick to dislodge them and send them on their way across the desert sand and bushes.

I believe these were gopher snakes or some other types of nonpoisonous variety. I did occasionally see some rattlers, but they were much less bold in presenting themselves.

With the droppings from the bird nests the snakes easily found where to go for a meal.

I was happy that the palapa offered shelter for all these birds from the weather. Not much help from the snakes when I wasn't there though.

Yes! Waiting for a head nod yes by all the powers that be here and then it’s on. Needs to be unanimous ;)

Nailed this lunker on a 1/2 oz Mega Bite with just one hook on the rear treble hook so an easy release. Didn't get any good bird kiting until he was on the beach and I needed to grab him, went bat crap crazy then.:cool:
