One of the things I like to do is to get down to the Morro Bay marina before the sun rises in order to watch the bay "wake up." At first the bay is quiet. Then, the night feeding birds start to return to their roosts and the day feeding birds begin to take flight. It goes from quiet to noisy.
On Monday morning, I was delighted by the fact that some white pelicans had spent the night in the marina and that the terns were enjoying feeding in the area. There were frequent splashes as the terns hit the water to grab a fish. Maybe the birds do it because they are hungry, but for me it was just a spectacular show.
