USA: Monterey Bay, Yosemite and north


West of Yosemite - September 7, 2008


This was mainly for seabirds out of Monterey Bay. But I managed to fit in my favourite haunts such as Moss Landing as well as first time visits to places like Yosemite NP, and and many smaller Wildlife Refuges such as Merced National Wildlife Refuge and north to Bodega Bay.
