Allan Peel, San Antonio, Texas, was one of three regular mystery photo spotters who correctly figured out the last mystery. Several readers found similar islands in other parts of the world. Allan wrote: ‘Today’s mystery photo is a picture of Bird Rock, a large sandstone and granite rock formation that is a popular tourist attraction located just off the coast of Pebble Beach, approximately four miles west of Monterey, Calif. There is an informational sign posted at this site that reads:
“Bird Rock
Not just for the birds
At times it’s easy to see how this rock got its name. During spring and summer, nesting cormorants and gulls and roosting pelicans cover Bird Rock, At one time Bird Rock was just for the birds, but after its coating of bird droppings (guano) was mined for fertilizer, seals and sea lions move in.”
The photo came from Rick Krause of Lilburn. Also recognizing it were George Graf of Palmyra, Va. and Susan McBrayer of Sugar Hill.
