Project Wildlife 3-5-2012
We visited small street fair put on by Project Wildlife, the Humane Society, and others. They rescue wild birds and other animals with the idea to return them to nature. Wonderful work; and a lot of it done by volunteers.
Great Horned Owl. They have a double eyelids and have
funny way of blinking. They said he weighs 3 pounds.
He is doing the slow blink.
Raven
American Kestrel. His left eye is damaged so he could not hunt and survive
in the wild. They are small falcons.
Barn Owl. Except for the Raven, all these birds are amazingly calm.
The raven was pacing around and clearly wanted some action.
Project Wildlife and the Humane Society are next door
neighbors in San Diego.
Danny the Dog. He was rescued wandering around in a mall
with no one to take care of him. They guy that rescued him wrote
a children's book about him titled, "Danny Dog".

Carlsbad Sunset 2-9-2016
Looking Northwest. This is from South of the powerplant.
Very calm surf. A bit hidden in this image is a Navy ship.
I think it is a carrier off Pendleton. If you zoom in you can see it
on the right horizon.
Sunset. Of course after I left the beach the Sunset just got better and better!
Catalina Island in the distance. Sometimes we can see it, but not always.

Save the Parrots! 1-16-2016
We went to a parrot rescue talk. They explain how parrots are in decline all over in the Americas, due to environmental degradation and illegal trading of the birds. This one is called an Amazon Red Head; or sometimes a Mexican Red Head. Years ago there was a wild flock of them that we would see in Vista California.

New Year's Eve Beach Walk 12-31-2015
I saw the Green Flash through the camera lens when it was zoomed out. But the green does not show up on any of the images. Very cool to see though. Also we could just see the tops of Catalina and San Clemente Islands. But did not photograph them
