Sequoia National Park, CA—Mom and I went on a bird watching walk this morning the same time dad left for his run. We walked on the General Grant Tree trail which led to the General Grant Tree that happens to be the widest tree in the world. First we saw what we thought was a Swainson’s Sparrow. It was a brownish gray with a brown speckled white breast and had a very loud sound. We later figured out it was a female Fox Sparrow. After that, we continued to see Fox Sparrows until we came across two Peliated Woopeckers. One was a male, and the other was female. We were very close to them, but our camera had the wrong zoom-lense, so our pictures aren’t very good. Next we encountered a bright yellow bird with a black cap that happened to be a Wilson’s Warbler, a lifer (a lifer is a bird that you have seen for the first time in your life). A brownish bird with yellow under its wing was seen, too, but we can’t identify it. After that we decided to go home because the boys would assume the Grizzlies got us and start claiming our things. Now we have a four-hour drive to Yosemite National Park, where hopefully, I can see the Cinnamon Teal (a type of colorful duck).

I would hope that if you were mauled by a bear, I would get some of your stuff.... hint.

...the grizzlies get you and all they can think about is claiming your stuff... typical boys.
ReplyDeleteSusie, you can have my toilet to remember me by, so that every time you take a dump, you'll think of me. How's that? Not typical boys, WeeWee, typical BROTHERS.
