Wonderful shots. I am not aware of this area. What is the weather like first week of November? We were in Yosemite an, Sacromento and Bumboldt park last Nove and it was a bit cold. Images are at: www.leegephart.smugmug.com under art and then Art.
My wife is the bird lover, author and global bird chaser. I will show these to her.

Weather varies from 60 to 75 F, but rarely as low as 60. It doesn't rain often, but because it's close to the ocean, you can almost always get the lighting you like best, by going at the right time of day. Morning and late afternoon have the most clouds. There's a footbridge 1-1/2 miles South on PCH from Warner, where you can shoot pelicans, egrets, terns, stilts, various shorebirds, etc. It's usually busy with birds there, especially early and late. If you park instead at Warner and PCH, and walk across the bridge to the dirt path, you can see raptors along that path, and back in 3/4 mile take a left down into the forested area by the shallow water, you can see kingfishers, ospreys, kites, and other birds. Don't step on any rattlers in the upper dirt-path area. Mostly that's a summer problem.
