Yesterday, we went to Moss Landing. This is the center of the Monterey Bay coastline. This is the home of Elkhorn Slough, an inlet that is teeming with wildlife. We have taken patio boat tours on it before. This time, we just walked along the banks. A lot of work had been done in the wildlife refuge there. This place had been a marsh, but at the beginning of the 20th-century, a man created salt ponds and mined the salt from them. We saw and photographed a variety of wading birds. After our exploration, we went across the highway to a seafood grill for lunch. There were more birds there.
