Whew… that was a long one.
We got in last night after a trip out to the San Francisco Comic Convention. It was a pretty nice Con. The food in the area was good, but expensive. It wasn’t until Monday that Jeremy and I got to go out for some real exploring. We went to the Ghirardelli square area where we found a beautiful bayside park to walk in. Naturally it was full of birds I’d never seen… it was like going to the zoo, only better! I added several birds to my lifelist

White crowned sparrow

Black Phoebe

Lesser Goldfinch

Western Grebe

Brewer’s Blackbird

Wilson’s Wabler was perhaps the most exciting sight of the walk.
What a petite and adorable little bird!
We also saw two types of hummingbirds: Black chinned and Broad-tailed

Yeah, it’s a funny thing that traveling brings new plants and creatures. Cool that you were able to identify the birds.
Do you have photos of the convention? Like with you and geeky people dressed up and stuff? I only saw one of Jeremy on facebook. It’s soooo cool to see him sitting in front of the banner with Pirate Girl!

The sparrow is so cute!
I’m glad your trip went well!
