Birdz in the Hood

Niels has developed a particular affinity for birds and fish. Thus, nothing can be finer than water birds--all of which are called ducks and most of which, I'm told, quack. The various duck-filled ponds in Golden Gate Park are always a good time, but we've been trying to branch out and get down to see the shorebirds in the surviving local estuaries.

Heron's Head Park has become a recent favorite. It is a spit of land at the end of Islias Creek that has trails along a marsh with views of the rusting Port of SF on one side and Hunter's Point on the other.

After all, we can't keep him cooped up in a cabinet all the time

We're on the lookout for birds

And here they are

And puddles too

Puddles!

They are also good for reflection

Plants are nice too
