It was unseasonably warm and sunny on my birthday, so we got out for a little birdwatching.
We started at the harbor, hoping to get a closer look at the grebes I’ve been seeing when I paddle. The grebes were actively feeding on fish that we think are topsmelt, eating amazing amounts for such small birds.
Later, we made a quick tour of Westlake Park, but didn’t see as many different waterfowl as we’d hoped. Finally, we finished off with a walk through the arboretum. The land birds were quiet; most of the day’s action was with the waterfowl. All in all, a good day.
