I remembered to bring my new binolulars with me to the dog park so I could get a better look at shore birds (it is located at a point in the SF Bay). They are continuing to build back their numbers during feeding time after our oil spill here a few years ago.

Such good news- obviously, the food supply is in a restorative phaze. Plus, they will lay egs nearby in the swampy grassy areas (it is restricted for dogs- so is the beach on the Bay during low tide so the birds can feed).

I really missed them and am really enjoying daily sightings. My little dog stays very quiet and just sits next to me on the banks and doesn't make any moves toward them. He is a very good little birder! He has never attempted to chase them. Guess he understood my lecture about all the rules and the bird cops...

Just enjoying Spring warmth in general and taking some hikes.
