Fabulous photos and videos, Marv! So many Marv touches to those videos. Truly feel like I was just there. Love the semi with the Franklin's. Great coverage of the Baird's, too…and the TWO Franklins! I have a feeling that you might be over there at M Street again this a.m. ! Also, I really enjoyed the juvie SB Gull.



Deck construction work starting as planned, since air is clearing out this a.m. It will be good to have it repaired and stained/painted. Glad the fellow who did the downstairs room is able to do it for us! He is a gem.



Six Band-tailed pigeons trying to crowd their way on to the feeder……We have created quite the spot with lots of plants, flowers, habitat, …..whew. I may have to escape….. 😊



Happy Monday,

Janeanne

I arrived at CRM at 7:30 this morning. At 8 the first FRANKLIN'S GULL flew in from the south with a few other gulls. Later in the morning a second showed up. A female-type Harlequin Duck remained in the distant driftwood allowing the occasional glimpse.
