A seagull stands atop a pile of nets and floats on San Diego’s picturesque G Street Pier.
You won’t believe all the birds I identified today during my walk along the Embarcadero. You really will not believe it!
Check out these fun flighty photos taken beside beautiful San Diego Bay!
American coots (also called mud hens) stand on rocks near the Marriott Marina.A Canada goose on San Diego’s Embarcadero! Now that’s a very unusual sight! This bird seems to have joined a local flock of American coots. Maybe it was blown off course during the recent windy storm.Another strange bird near the sparkling water about to take flight! Oops. My mistake.A female black-crowned night heron among rocks near the Embarcadero Marina Park South pier.A gathering of pigeons on the grass at Embarcadero Marina Park North.Rare exotic birds photographed in flight! Oops. Those are actually colorful kites. Fooled me again!I’ve arrived at Seaport Village. Okay, I’m certain these are real birds–maybe. Looks like a parrot, flamingo and some egrets.Gulls, pelicans and sea lions await handouts of leftover fish parts. Early Saturday afternoon, and the Tuna Harbor Dockside Market is wrapping up.Two sneaky gulls with hungry, watchful eyes.There’s gotta be some yummy fish scraps here somewhere!Commercial fishermen unload on the small dock behind this gate at Tuna Harbor.

One of the three large Son of Zorn banners hung on the parking garage of the Hilton San Diego Bayfront for 2016 Comic-Con.
Zorn the friendly warrior has invaded downtown San Diego! This morning I spotted him right next to the convention center! He’s “hanging out” on three enormous banners draping the parking garage of the Hilton San Diego Bayfront!
I’m not sure where his son is… Perhaps the two got separated in the large San Diego Comic-Con crowd depicted in the fun promotional graphic!
I haven’t observed any Comic-Con wraps applied to buildings yet; right now, the only huge building wrap near the San Diego Convention Center is that MLB All-Star Game one on the Marriott Marquis that I posted several days ago…
Hang tight! The fun around here is just getting started!
The Son of Zorn, an imaginative television show combining animation and live action, will premiere on September 25 on FOX.Zorn the friendly warrior seems to be walking through a San Diego Comic-Con crowd. In addition to a sword, he’s got his badge, a soda and smartphone handy!

Visible in this photo, taken from the walking path at the south end of the Marriott Marina, are two prominent hotels on San Diego’s picturesque waterfront. To the left is the elegant Manchester Grand Hyatt, and in the center are the two curved, shining, sail-like buildings of the Marriott Marquis. On the far right you can see the north end of the long San Diego Convention Center.
After gazing awhile at the hundreds of sailboats and small yachts docked in the marina, you might head a short distance west to enjoy views of the grassy Embarcadero Marina Park South and its fishing pier on San Diego Bay.
