| ...hi everyone. It's been a long time since I've posted here and I wanted to apologize. There have been a lot of troubles in the family, a lot of losses, including my youngest son on Easter, so things have been very difficult....I will be out and about shooting photos of birds within the next couple of weeks or so (having cartilage repair surgery tomorrow)... MarieMom sends her love to everyone (she is here now).....we went on a hike today and saw: Turkey Vultures, Common Ravens, a Whimbrel, a Belted Kingfisher, a Common Loon, a Red-throated Loon, some American Goldfinches, a Brown headed Cowbird and lots of wildflowers.....hope everyone is well.

| thank you....I struggle mostly right now with the loss of my son. The healing of surgery is sort of taking a back seat. Over the years as many here know, I've had a lot of trouble with injuries to back, cartilage and tendons and have discovered that I have a connective tissue disorder. I will be seeing a rheumatolgist in June so we can discover which kind it is....meantime, I lay in bed listening to the birds calling outside. I have four hummingbird feeders up and saw the early nesting Anna's bringing a baby to them, and later, the Selasphorus hummers visited as well. Looks like we have a few stay-over Selasphorus, which with the weird weather isn't too unusual, I guess :) The Violet-green Swallows returned on schedule and the Osprey, too...there have been a lot of California Brown Pelicans flying north; adults and first-year birds. An intermediately plumaged (winter to breeding) Common Loon has been frequenting the point and bay at Laguna Point up in MacKerricher; MarieMom and I were there on Monday (day before my knee surgery) and got to watch it diving and catching fish.....a rare treat for here :o) |
