TimeOut

Down at the Docks: Birds, Bikes & Bother

We can start with a pair of Osprey who shared a meal together nearby:

More on them later.

As we walked a pair of huskies kept us far away from the door of the canvas shop (seems a bit hard on customers)... maybe they are protecting the bike.

It's starting to seem like black and white might be enough for today (so do you think those looow profile tires ride a bit rough?)

This Harley looks like a more comfortable ride than the Silverado

Turning to the river, which was at high tide, the birds were also getting lunch.

And in the bay they were just staring into the distance.

I guess it would be brunch time, not lunch.

This Jeep looks serious. Even has the obligatory Hi-Lift Jack on the hood for self-rescue. I still have the jack, but no Jeeps.

A few splashes of color appeared as we continued along through parking lots and along the harborside.

The Osprey are usually quite still and reclusive but today they were giving me lots of challenges, flying and perching all around us.

The male clung to his fish, showing or sharing with several other birds.

From a distance it appeared that some mating was going on, but on my big screen it seems they were just eating together.

That's all the birds

In Part 2 I will share the bother.

Part 2 Signs

Various places that we walk are sign-free, but others are festooned with innumerable pieces of advice, threats, and sales pitches. Today was the latter. We also saw examples of the faded or peeling, low-quality paint we use in SoCal to reduce volatile emi...

Honestly....

I don't recall ever encountering an aggressive husky! I've always found them among the most pleasant dogs to interact with despite their penchant for occasional aloof behavior. Cheers, Filip

Oh fantastic, that very first

Great pics Mike! Especially the ones of the Robb Field Ospreys (that's them, right?).

Could be, but Driscoll boatyard at Hospitality Point is where they were

By: cazalea : June 6th, 2024-21:37

There were 3-4 Ospreys at Driscoll’s, and Robb Field is about a half-mile away - 10-15 seconds in bird distance! ...
