Out & About San Diego — I want power! Now!
San Diego County has about three million people living in it, so it’s obvious that somewhere there is really heavy industry, like power plants. There is a nuclear power plant in San Onofre, offline currently due to cooling rod problems. There is a standard power plant on the Chula Vista waterfront, also offline because they are going to be tearing it down. Those were the only two I knew of until recently when I found this one:

Love the picture of the hawk!? Wowee… some interesting shots!

Thanks! I know it’s a hawk but I couldn’t identify it completely. I’m thinking it’s a red-shouldered hawk because I saw quite a few of them in that neighborhood that day.
