It Must Be Summer!

Even though my calendar is saying spring, the manner in which the animals surrounding us are behaving of late, it has got to be summer! Let me give a few visual examples. This is what occurred yesterday evening...

This group showed up unannounced and interrupted our dinner...

And if that wasn't enough these 2 were spotted in a nearby tree.

But then that is not the half of it. This heron was seen strolling the shoreline -

big fish in mouth! But then..

One of the 3 stooges came out of the water and tried to steal the fish!

While that was happening this doe was in our yard eating our hydrangeas!

It may not have happened all in one evening as I have lead you to believe, but it could have happened this way.

Earl Visits Point Richmond Beach

A Large California Sea Lion dropped by Point Richmond Beach early Saturday and stirred up what was starting out to be a typical lazy morning. Earl, as one neighbor called him, apparently spent the night on a nearby dock. When he decided to try out another dock with a boat moored to it, the owner decided to take action and chase him off the dock. Earl cooperated with only a minor objection, or maybe it was a grunt.  This pinniped was next spotted at the Rees pilings where he decided to scratch an itch by rubbing barnacles clinging to the surface. Then he decided licking was a better choice.. 

At first earl was estimated at 600 pounds but this quickly jumped to 800 pounds. The heaviest estimate came in at over 1000 pounds. All agreed that Earl has a certain attitude.

Earl eventually moved south and has not been seen since.

Covid-19 Brings New Way to Socialize

Since Covid-19 took the world and nobody is working, neighbors are have been found loitering around the mailboxes right in the street! The above photo was taken on friday April 17 on a lazy afternoon after doing nothing all day.  Folks were at least responsible about keeping to their 6 foot allotted spaces.
