about 20 Snowy Plovers were on the beach here

Very rare bird for California. All I had with me was my cell phone and the use of someone else's scope since I got word of the bird while I was at work in the office. There is just enough detail to this lousy photo for ID purposes.

Tons of these under a log in a drier part of the marsh. Never seen so many. And are those pseudoscorpion eggs?

These are all apparently 1st winter birds judging from pale breasts.
