Our San Diego's Pacific Rocky Shores Trip (San Diego Bird Festival) took us to Cabrillo National Monument, located on the southern tip of the Point Loma Peninsula in San Diego, California. The monument and adjacent area commemorates the landing of Juan Rodríguez Cabrillo at San Diego Bay on September 28, 1542. This event marked the first time that an European expedition had set foot on what would later became the west coast of the United States. We saw this Pelagic Cormorant, Phalacrocorax pelagicus, swimming offshore. The Pelagic Cormorant is noticeably smaller and slimmer than other species of cormorants and breeds from the Bering Sea south to northern Baja California. It winters south from southern Alaska. It is also found in northeastern Asia. It was a partly cloudy morning with temperatures in the mid-50's.
