Just a few miles from Monterey lies the small seaside town of Carmel. We had a couple of visits here and the nearby 17 Mile Drive. Birdwise, we didn’t add much to the trip list, but I did have my one and only sighting of Berwick’s Wren here.

Other birds seen in Carmel itself were: Mourning Dove, Heerman’s Gull and Pygmy Nuthatch. On the beach, we had great views of California Ground Squirrel.

During a drive around nearby 17 Mile Drive we visited Bird
Rock where we saw our first Mule/Black-tailed Deer, along with Black
Oystercatcher, Black Turnstone, Heerman’s Gulls, Brandt’s
Cormorants, California Sealions (hundreds!) and Californian
Ground Squirrels.
