July 2010 -- A bird sighting at Monterey Bay

03 July -- Bob and Laura and I spent the day on the Monterey peninsula enjoying the sun and the sights and the seafood, and trying to name all the authors we knew who had connections here. Naming John Steinbeck reminded us of Ed Rickett's lab on Cannery Row. The city has preserved at least the exteriors of the buildings and the holding tanks that the marine biologist used for many years.

It turned out to be the ideal home for a pair of seagull babies.
