I went for a nice walk after work. In the old days, this place was a favorite birding spot. Since I didn't know I'd be there, I didn't come prepared with my camera, so instead of bird watching, I went bird listening! I finally got that Merlin app to work, and I'm very impressed! I know the birds in this area like the back of my hand, so I could confirm it's labels as accurate - it was very exciting for me! It could even detect bird sounds quite far away! I hope to go birding after work one of these days. I just seem to always drive home for more work, but all work and no birding...well, you know...
@Weezilou - This is at the Point Vicente Lighthouse in Rancho Palos Verdes. There is a great Interpretive Center there, as well as the Vicente Bluffs Reserve where I see some great birdies, including the California gnatcatcher. People often whale watch from the interpretive center, and you can check out their stats on their easel displays.
There used to be a Marineland out here 45-50 years ago...well, it was in Ranchos Palos Verdes! Thanks for the information... From here, it would take some planning to go for an afternoon, but it sounds as though it might be worth it!
I have photographed it several times - and probably did during my first year (2010-2011), but I believe the church that started our conversations was the one with the unique crucifix (title of the photo was "making time for Jesus") :)
@Weezilou -- oops - forgot to tag you in my first response: I have photographed it several times - and probably did during my first year (2010-2011), but I believe the church that started our conversations was the one with the unique crucifix (title of the photo was "making time for Jesus") :)
@Weezilou - found my shot of Wayfarer's Chapel from my first year on 365. I think my photography and editing have improved since then, but I still love the shot. They later chopped off that branch in the circle window. I always loved how it looked. I'll have to check back, as I haven't photographed it since 2016 it seems! https://photos.app.goo.gl/336HBX1UZrjSEGc9A
