This morning we visited La Bajada which was quite good in cloudy conditions. Rufous-backed Thrush, Pale-billed Woodpecker, Fan-tailed Warbler, another 3 Grey-collared Becards, Blue Mockingbird and Golden Vireo were all seen while Rosy Thrush-Tanagers blasted out their song from the dense understory. We headed back to Miramar for lunch stopping nearby where some gulls were bathing. Most were Heerman's like this crisp adult, but others had us guessing for a while. Anyway there were plenty of other birds to keep us occupied as various gulls, waders and other water-associated species cam to bathe.
