Southern California Sights

Some of the green hills of southern California.
The kids treated us to a day at Knott's Berry Farm - it was a fun, roller coaster filled day.
The campground ranger said these "lovely" creatures are Turkey Vultures. They don't look it, but they are so cute. They wag their tails and pant like puppies.

UPDATE: (*OK- so after further investigation and some help from a good farm girl (thanks Holly) we have discovered these are, in fact, Muscovy Ducks- those campground rangers will tell tourists ANYTHING!)

P.S. We always thought they "looked" a lot like ducks!
