We get those giant egrets down here in L.A. too. The Ballona Creek Bike Path runs right along the Ballona Wetlands, just south of Marina Del Rey. It's an area that people have been fighting to protect for decades, because it's a key piece of the Pacific Coast Flyway. We get egrets, great blue herons and other beautiful birds. It makes the ride worthwhile.
It's amazing how many folks cruise right by without noticing these beautiful creatures.
