birding

Today we went to the farmers market, the big one under the freeway. We got garlic almonds, basil, and no pesticide tomatoes and bell peppers. Oh, and olive oil.

Then we went to McKinley Park. We walked in the rain. Then we went to a free chrysanthemum show. The chrysanthemums were beautiful. I liked Lava best, I think. Here are pics from a different chrysanthemum show, but the one we went to was like this one.

Then we had Thai food with our friend A. Then we went to Vic Fazio and birded with him. In addition to egrets and starlings and red winged blackbirds, we identified Killdeers and Northern Shovelers. There was some kind of kite we couldn't ID, and a hawk.
