Hangin' at Pismo

On the way home I stopped at Pismo Beach, one of my favorite hangouts for many years. The Best Western Shore Cliff Motel sits on a cliff above the ocean with awesome views from virtually every room. The cliffside is home to hundreds of pelicans during the fall and winter. They were hangin' out in force when I was there. This bloke is chillin' on the rocks about 50 feet above the ocean, preparatory to goin' fishing. I love watching the pelicans cruise and maneuver, then dive bomb the fish. They're the jet fighters of the bird world! This area also has lots of gulls and cormorants.
