Sunday Stroll

It was a beautiful Sunday afternoon so the family decided to go for a nice Sunday afternoon stroll and enjoy some bird watching. We all loaded in the van, headed to Sunnyvale and parked along Carl Road. Christofer and Devan helped me load Radley into a front carrier before heading out on a levee toward the bay. We saw common egrets, a great blue heron and about a dozen black crowned night herons, including several juveniles, all perched along the levee opposite us. We watched a white tailed kite hover before diving into the grass, but he came up empty. After finishing an out and back loop we headed a little ways north along the San Francisco Bay Trail and saw coots, grebes and a little green heron that had found a prime spot for it to fish and us to watch it fish.
