Osprey portrait: Oceanside

Marlene and I invited friends to make a quick jaunt to the beach after work to "watch the sunset" and have dinner. Something so simple on Friday evening can often make a routine weekend seem like a "3-day weekend."

I was able to walk across the road and do a bit of birding and photography at the mouth of the San Luis Rey River [site guide] while the others sat in the sand staring out to sea. Then we ate! [Rockin' Baja Lobster]

An Osprey was perched on the light pole I had to walk under, so it was close!
