I came home today to find the living room in shambles. Apparently two ducks, one male and one female, conned Sandy into opening the front door by staging a package delivery. As soon as Sandy opened the door to pick up the box, they made their way in to steal the jar of duck food …

Backyard Burds
I spent a good portion of my day out in the backyard shooting photos of birds. It was my 1st test of my new Canon 100-400m IS Lens. It performed quite well.
Koa
Today I met Chris & Tami’s new puppy Koa, the snoring, farting Frenchie. She so damn cute! She’ll howl until you pick her up just so she can fall asleep in your lap.
Sandy is making friends
Princess likes me, I think. When I rubbed her today, she had that same look Judy has when I scratch her head. Bad thing is whenever she sees me now, she expects attention. Fred is the same, but his best friend is Carlo. He’ll say hi but will look for Carlo immediately after or retreats …
Patty’s Place
Tonight we went up to the hills of Oakland to Patty & Tom’s place for dinner. The food & wine were excellent, the conversation even better. Of course I had to torment Christine the cat with my camera. I forgot to photograph Willie the Corgi/Golden Retriever mix when he did his tightrope trick.
Clingy
Judy likes to be outside her cage (mostly when Sandy is nearby). The problem is she’ll get spooked by who knows what and ends up flying. Last night, she got spooked as usual, flew and landed on Sandy’s back. Not being too smart she just froze instead of climbing to higher ground. I thought the …
Christmas Potluck
We had a little get together tonight with Jim, Kelly Steve & Diane.
Pelicans
For some unknown reason a trio of Pelicans have decided to stake out a claim in our lagoon. They do have to contend with those pesky Cormorants though.
UFC Fowl
The ducks are always entertaining. This morning I fed them and as usual there were all these duck fights. This is so funny for me because while the larger ducks fight for dominance, the younger ducks don’t care and just eat all the food. In this featherweight match Harold and Denny square off. They get in a clench. Harold gets …
Canon G9
I wanted to get rid of my G7 in favor of the upgraded G9, so I got a used one on Ebay. A week later Canon announced the G10, Doh! Here’s one of my 1st shots with the G9 with our always grouchy model Judy (I don’t pay her OT).
