Two half-grown baby mallards followed by mom. More mallards to rear in lovely blue pond. Green grass and trees on bank, blue sky. Just beyond and out of sight: Puget Sound.

Oregon Juncos joined in the singing in front of the Concord CA Immigration Court this morning, sending love and solidarity to immigrant families arriving for check-ins and hearings. Sorry no bird pix. But we all sang!

Can Corgis and chickens be friends? Rosie wants to meet neighbor kids’ pet chicken at Pt Molate Beach Park.

Wrong way, Rosie, we’re going to see flowers.

Rosie this morning: where’s my breakfast chicken? Do you expect me to eat plain kibble?

Biggest cheer for this massive park expansion is our Rosie who visits the adjoining beaches five times a week. #corgi #parks
