May 17, 2021

I stopped by after spending most of the afternoon at La Jolla. The single juvenile has fledged, but is still rather clumsy.

A brief visit. The juvenile chased mom briefly.

A photographer saw the juvenile down on the beach around 6:45 before I arrived.
I spent most of the time up on Guy Fleming Trail, though after Mom brought in a Green Heron I hoofed it down to the beach to see if she left it anywere visible (she didn't).
