The Birds of Cabrillo Beach

with Jess Morton

With a combination of photographs, poetry, and stories, Jess draws from his extensive beach archives and writings to let the birds tell us about the riches of this one small speck of the universe. A beach goer for six decades, past whale watch docent and long-time nature educator, Jess has seen Cabrillo Beach undergo great changes, exemplified by the establishment of a world-class marine aquarium. But that’s another story.

The evening’s birds will more than fill our allotted time! From a bird as common as Western Gull or a threatened species like Snowy Plover, to a one-time wonder, each bird has its own amazing story to tell. Though the birds don’t speak our language, Jess will do his best to translate what they have to say.

All in attendance will receive a copy of “Cabrillo Beach,” as availability allows.
