Slow. Children at Play.

2PAD is getting off to a very slow start today.  Yesterday was quite slow aside from MB allegedly seeing a Xantus's Murrelet flying by the Island.  I think the best bird for me was a Merlin, spotted by James R. Tietz.  Yawn.  So in honor of the boring day yesterday, here are two totally common but beautiful birds.

Brandt's Cormorant, North Landing.

Quimbrel, North Landing.
