Dog's Day Out

 Brants, Branta bernicula, down from Alaska for the Winter.

 Enjoying the sun and the company.

 Quite the social pair!

 Western Grebe

Western Meadowlark

A bright sunny day after all that rain.  The parking lot was a muddy mess but the doggies were having a great time at the dog park as were the humans!  The migratory birds are down from Alaska and Canada for the Winter.  What's not to like.  Looks like more rain on Tuesday but clear sailing until then!

Brandts on the Wing

Flock of Brandt Geese, Branta bernicula. These geese come all the way down from Alaska and Northern Canada to winter in sunny San Diego. Ironically, I see more of them here then I saw up in Alaska. Could have saved myself some money! Oh yeah, but there were glaciers up there...and humpback whales. Details...
