Seven birders encountered receding dark clouds, cold temps and bright sunshine at Redondo Beach boardwalk on February 9th. The parking lot offered scope views of a perched Yellow-rumped Warbler. From the boardwalk, saltwater birds of many species were seen with vibrant colors in the sun. The group walked clear to the end and back to spot, identify, study and photograph Harlequin Ducks, Common Loons and more. 

Not enough time was left to visit our second stop, M street. One carload did drive down to see where it was and what it's like. The flooded fields were full of ducks and shorebirds, which is often the case in winter. There was no time to linger and scope them as it was decided to head back to the store at noon as scheduled. 37 species were seen!
