They used to be all around me as I exercised in the ocean.. I loved observing them. These however are from Lake Chapala. Their black sections on their wings aren’t evident when they are in float mode but luckily got one stetching his wings.

They’re wonderful to watch when they are fishing from the air — they remind me of bouncing balls, landing on the surface of the water and keeping themselves above the water as they dive for their fish!

I always think of you at Dana Point. I used to go there, too.
