Skatebirding with California State Senator Ben Allen!

Late this afternoon I had the pleasure of sharing my skatebirding experience with State Senator Ben Allen. Since Senator Allen's District 26 includes the Ballona Creek area, he was interested in learning more about the bird species there and about the kinds of recreational activities that local residents enjoy. I showed the Senator a number of birds, including the Great Blue Heron, Grey Pelican, Stilt, Willet, Bonaparte Gull, Coot, and Green winged Teal. He was quite impressed by the number of species we saw in a very short time. Senator Allen is a strong supporter of environmental preservation and appreciates all that the Ballona Creek has to offer.
