Whoo? Where?

My friend Edmond told us of a great place to see burrowing owls this time of year. So of course we had to go there since Emily has never seen a burrowing owl in it's natural habitat.

We headed to the Cesar Chavez Park near the Berkeley Marina.
It took us awhile but we eventually found this little guy! Binoculars helped!
Emily found this beautiful blue heron just posing for us.

There were so many gopher holes with these gopher squirrels all over the place.
It was a very cold and windy day!
Also caught sight of this willet too!
Then we moved to the 2nd location near the soccer fields..
This little guy was super easy to find...
He just stood on the rock for all to come see and take pictures!

So thrilling to see them and Emily was very happy!

very cool! seeing birds on their turf/surroundings in much more thrilling than in a cage up close!
