A very welcome surprise




A special treat today and new bird added to my collection of California birds. Northern Mockingbird, Sleepy Kitty, and a flock of Cedar Waxwings. Yay!

Still a tourist.


Just when I think I'm getting used to California I see a lemon tree and I'm right back at square one when I saw my first palm tree.



Northern Mockingbird. He sang me an absolutely gorgeous song in the rain. Western Scrub jay, and a California Towhee.

Dead and Walking.

So I seem to still neglect the wordier of my blogs. I'm not dead, I swear! You may always check my walking blog over there to the right. I update it every day. Yes. Every single day.

I've been well, enjoying my camera immensely. It really helps with tracking down birds. It was rather warm today and a bee chased me. I love Canada, but this is the way winters should be. Bees and flowers.





Just the same, it's quickly getting to be about that time where I need to come home. I miss everyone and everything. I'll just wait until that snow melts off, okay?

Here's a picture of someone's cat. Who's cat? I don't know.



Annnd. The last piece is some wood I saw today in the river. Am I morbid or do you see it too?





Oak titmouse, Dog, California Towhee.

The dog had a bay to it that sounded like he was heralding the end of the world. On another note, this may be the only time in my life I can name a perfectly innocent picture 'titscreaming.jpg'.

I need a new route. I'll see about heading over into the suburbs a bit for more finches.

It was pouring today and I had to dodge under trees and awnings. Also there was a huge bike event going on and the blockades got me lost and confused. A couple new birds today for your viewing pleasure.Female Brewers Blackbird, Scrub Jay, Steller's Jay.
