Ducklings 2010

Yesterday our first family of ducklings appeared. Sadly one of the seven got eaten right in front of Sandy. We remain hopeful.

Duck Violence

There was a duck scuffle yesterday and I had to call the police, domestic violence department. Apparently there was a instance of duck infidelity. It felt like the Jerry Springer show.

Hawkish

As usual I spent this morning in the backyard and happened on a hawk that I could not ID. Wait it’s a Cooper’s Hawk.

This Morning

I try to avoid powering up my computer on the weekend mornings because I end up geeking til the afternoon. So today right after I made coffee I went out to the backyard. If I sit long enough I see something to shoot.

Get your ding dang camera!

While we were out in the backyard, I spotted a humming bird close to Sandy where she was pruning the bushes. She yelled at me to get the camera. I responded as I usually do, “By the time I get the camera it’ll be gone”. She didn’t take “No” for an answer. What I did …

Burd Squatters

A pair of stupid burds decided to construct a 3 bedroom condo right outside our front door directly atop our porch light, without permits. The result is alot of burd crap!

Pelican

Every time I drive to and from Fed Ex (about once a week) I see at least one pelican in this estuary by the Oakland airport. So today I finally brought my camera and shot a few pictures. What I didn’t expect was for them to be feeding. I ended up shooting 123 photos. Needless …
