Redondo Beach Pier birds

Last Sunday November 11th, we got up early again and walked a few blocks from our house to the Redondo Pier with a huge thermos of coffee, Chris' camera and my binoculars in hand. Little did we know how perfect our timing was for spotting an Osprey, eyeing up it's prey from a high perch above Old Tony's Bar! Too cool!!

1. Bottle-nosed dolphin
