Birding on Sand Hill Road In Palo Alto

Western Bluebird



Black Pheobe


Red-tailed Hawk

Mike had a little extra time after his conference and went birding on Sand Hill Road in Palo Alto, CA. While none of these photos are worth a million dollars, he thinks the new camera was a good investment. There are supposed to be vultures on Sand Hill Road, but he only saw a hawk.

Girls' getaway to Ojai

Mike had to attend a conference in Pasadena, so Chris and our daughters decided to spend some time together at a spa in Ojai, California. One morning, they took a hike and the highlight was encountering an owl, probably a great horned owl.

 

 

Here's a photo of a Cooper's Hawk, a western bluebird (although it looks more like an eastern bluebird) and a butterfly.
