Birds and Non-Birds: Monarchs, Elephant Seals, and Urinals

We had a day off from the Morro Bay Birding Festival, so we decided to see what else the surrounding area has to offer.  It did not disappoint!  Elephant Seals to the north, Monarchs and the Madonna Inn to the south, and a whole bunch of wild landscapes to the east.
