Thanks again to the many folks who responded to my request for birding suggestions. I just thought the rest of you would like to know that when I put all the suggestions on a map I had a solid line from Monterey to Half Moon Bay!! The message here is . if you ever get a chance to go to the area plan to spend A LOT of time along this stretch of coast. Debbie Shearwater is the best pelagic trip guide and worth the time is you have it. She is featured in the book The Big Year which is a must-read for all us bird junkies.
