Farallon Islands with Penny and Sharon July 09 : It was very cold and the sea was rough--people without patches got very sick. But it was a bracing experience! The Islands are covered with birds--Cormorants and Common Murres, and yet we know that these birds are having a hard time finding food during this time of climate change. Not too many whales, but many Albatross, Pigeon and Rhinoceros Auklets, Shearwaters,Tufted Puffins, a few Dolphins, Seals, and Sea Lions and more than enough huge waves.

Barn Owls near Las Gallinas Ponds : I have been passing by an Owl box on my way to the Las Gallinas Ponds for the past  5 years. I stopped now and then, but no residents appeared. This year, Penny happened by one day as Wildcare was taking Barn Owl chicks out of the box one by one to band them--all seven of them--and then putting them back in. We waited patiently for the chicks to fledge, knowing that they would hang around the box for a while to be fed by the parents. Finally, Sharon and I went to look, and there was a chick sitting calmly in the middle of a bush. We came every day after that, sometimes 3 times a day! We finally were able to count 5 separate chicks. Not sure what happened to the other two.  I hope they fledged early and we simply missed them!

Hawk Hill September 17 2006 : Yes, we met on the Internet, on DPReveiw Panasonic Forum, to be exact. And we have become friends who get together to capture as many bird pictures as possible. Steve was driving through the North Bay from San Pedro so we used that as an excuse to get together and watch the birds fly by Hawk Hill. See http://forums.dpreview.com/forums/read.asp?forum=1033&message=20078496. Sharon's and Steve's photos will be coming soon and I'll post the links.
