visitors from the south

From the south I mean southern hemisphere. Ray and Gay joined us from Auckland, New Zealand this weekend. It's been 16 years since we saw each other, and no one would have thought that from our conversations. They now have three grown children and a two year old granddaughter. The granddaughter brought them to Seattle, and brave and hardy souls, they traveled by Amtrak down to visit us.
We brought them out to Point Reyes on Sunday, our go to spot for taking tourists and ourselves. There we spotted this group of "twitchers". So what are they looking at?

After four nights of conversation, meals, and drinks we put our Kiwi friends on a plane back to Auckland last night with promises of us making a trip to New Zealand sometime in the future. We are starting to save our pennies.
