A great blue heron slowly sailed across Valencia a little after two this afternoon.
A pair of brown pelicans appeared at Seal Rock (thought the seals did not) A gull dropped its food from on high, a flock of cedar waxwings perched on 2nd Ave, a pair of starlings flapped in a puddle. House sparrows sang. A pair of pigeons led the way down the sidewalk. A couple of coots and mallards paddled about at the Cliff House. Canadian geese, mallards and a cormorant flew over Lake Temescal this morning.

Wasn't looking for birds today, but there they were in Oakland and San Francisco, living peaceably among humans.
