On Thursday, The Pescadero Bird Watching Society had staked out a prime beach spot overlooking Half Moon Bay.
In the distance, humpback whales were gorging on anchovies as Henrietta Hornbeck (Society president) issued an alert to the ten members scanning the nearby rocks for pelicans and assorted shore birds.
‘If anyone spots a loon, will you please cry out?’
Less than ten seconds later, all heads suddenly popped up from their hi-tech cameras affixed to chest high tripods.
‘Look here……look here to your right!’
‘He’s right here and I’ve been married to him for thirty-six years!’
Henrietta moved quickly to Sally’s side and scolded her while acknowledging that the very young cowboy next to her did possess certain characteristics of a loon.
