We started the morning bright and early at Cross Hill, hoping to see the legendary Caracara. After breakfast I camped out on the sand at Carmel River mouth waiting for shorebirds of various kinds. It was really fun. I also drove up to Asilomar and worked my way back down the peninsula, grooving on my iPod tunes.
