Thanks also for the restoration links – I should add a restoration category to my links page and add them.

I went briefly to Goleta Slough before I went to UCSB lagoon. Here are the pics I took.

If you want to do a trip to UCSB lagoon over the break, let me know and we can figure out a mutually good time. There are more birds to photograph.

Here is a link to some of the restoration projects, both past and present, that are going on at Coal Oil Point Reserve. I think it is neat there is a bit of a connection between the restoration work that starts at Goleta Slough and goes all the way to the reserve. UCSB is doing some interesting work through both the Cheadle Center, and Coal Oil Point Reserve. Santa Barbara Audubon has also helped fund some of the project in the area.

I’ll have to check out some of those signs at the lagoon area.

The lagoon has been intersting as of late. I can ride my bike by there on my way to work at the UCSB Library. I did a little shoot there last week but it was the day after the real action. I think the colder morning slowed down the fishing. I keep on telling myself to bring my camera with me to work… It is a chore sorting through photos though.

I did a big Pelican study (Yawn more pelicans to my collection – still get a kick out of them though). This weekend there was a large flock of them at Devereux Point. Shooting with the bright reflection on the water has been a challange.

Here is one from Devereux point last week. http://www.calliebowdish.com/Pictures/COPR081220-135.jpg

In your slideshow I especially like the photo of the four pelicans together on the log. It came together nicely.
