April 2, 2019

My first trip to La Jolla this season. The female from last season, banded 88AE, was there.

The female was out doing some flying back and forth, and took one food exchange.

Today was reportedly the first day the chicks showed themselves. Two were out exploring. The female flew around and chased cormorants for a while.
