Morning SUP Loreto
yes .. there were gulls … and blue-footed boobies, arctic terns, curlews, herons, fluffy egrets, Magnificent frigate birds, cormorants, sandpipers, yellow-legs, and an osprey ……
there were big fish, little fish, jumping fish and flying fish ..

the water ruffled from breezes that clocked from north to west to south …
such an honoring way to begin a day …….

I love getting the messages from your interaction with mother nature. I am going to look up all the bird names you listed so I have a better picture of your experience. Love John T.
