Comments: Took the binoculars and camera out on my walk today. Spent way more time than I planned to. :) Saw Acorn Woodpeckers, Killdeer, Yellow-Rumped Warblers, Northern Flicker, red-shafted, Black Phoebe, American Robins, hummingbirds, a jackrabbit. Walked right up under a hawk sitting on the top of a tree and got a clear view of it. It had light-brown feathers, with two grey feathers in it's tail. We both watched a teenage boy ride by on his bike and check his voice-mail. I watched with the binoculars as the hawk called twice more, then flew away. No idea what type of hawk it was (see picture below). I also have identified the bees from early February (see picture below). :) They are honeybees. I sort of feel like a naturalist Veronica Mars with these mysteries I enjoy solving. I dreamed of running a marathon for the third time last night. Same thing as the second dream -- I had to complete tasks before I could start the race, and I was in last place again. With the binoculars, I could see the birds and the squirrels eating the seeds of various trees.

Update, 2006-03-04: How coincidentally funny -- the birds and the bees. :) Glad I'm on top of my subconscious blogging. ;)
