Early Bird

I am a morning person.

So it was easy to hop in the car and get to San Elijo Lagoon before 7:00 am.

Off the 5 Freeway, exit Manchester Avenue, go east.

Which was just an arbitrary time. I don’t know when birds wake up.

It just seemed like there might be more action if I got there early.

We all know who ‘catches the worm’.

I am not a bird-watcher or a birder or whatever they call people that hang out with binoculars and field guides identifying various species but I figured there are miles of hiking trails at the lagoon if there was nothing exciting to see in the water.

But that wasn’t the case…..

So enchanted by the sights and sounds that I will have to go back to see what's at the end of the trail.
