Estero Morua on Saturday, March 5, 1988

Estero Morua 3/5/1988 CXX Got this from the beach book. The BROWN BOOBY WAS DEAD DEAD DEAD! Also in my 3x5 green journal: saw a dead boobie. Osprey on the house. Mom and Dad came. Water in tank dad wanted to dry. Went to the other side of the estuary with mom and dad in the boat. GAC or JHC write: Prairie falcon on the way from Sonoyta. Must be GAC and JHC but they didn't write their names.
