[CINC] Anacapa trip May 3

[Noel & Kathleen Van Slyke]

Had a wonderful day -- although it was very warm -- lots of gull eggs on 
the nests.  Some of the visitors were amazed at the number of birds 
nesting and it made the day special for them.  One couple is planning to 
return to see the chicks when they are born.

One thing that those of you leading hikes there who have not been out 
there recently may want to know that there are 2 nests _very close_ to 
the trail on the location where we normally talk about the Chumash.  I 
didn't notice them right away, stopped,  and had to move the spot for 
the talk when I realized the birds were bothered.   Thought some of you 
might like some advanced info.

Some common dolphins seen but that was the only marine life today.
