We are on the road. We will try to visit everyone this weekend, but it may not be today. Mama and Daddy said something about trying to stay "disconnected" and enjoying our time together as a family during our vacation.
We'll be back to normal visiting on Tuesday!
(The following post has been prerecorded)

Top o' the mornin' to ya, and Happy St Patrick's Day!
It's also Nature Friday, and today we want to share a few of the birdies we've been seeing around our 'hood.

The (American)Robins have started gathering at the water fountain in the morning to gossip.

Here is a formation of Sand Hill Cranes flying over our house.
It's always a treat for Mama to see the Cooper's Hawk watching over the back yard
(as long as he leaves the little birdies alone)

Mama has also been taking some bird watching walks on Tingley Beach

Mama saw this American Coot...

Here is a Black Crowned Night Heron hunting for breakfast....

Mama says she hasn't seen one of these (a Hooded Merganser) since we left California!

We'll close this week's St. Patrick's Nature Friday
with this pretty Cormorant

Wishing you all a very Happy St. Patrick's Day!
