Activity 1: https://montereyart.org/uncategorized/jane-kim-migrations/ I wanted to see new birds and explore this exhibit for my birthday. I live in Northern CA. It was interesting. I liked the interactive wall and it looks like South America has the most birds. Activity 2: Yesterday went to a local regional park. Last year is was all dried up. This year water abundance, new nest boxes for the Tree Swallows, but wondered about predation since California Gulls were in abundance. Finally viewed and photographed a Common Yellowthroat, real treat. And, as I am enjoying this class just watched a CA Scrub-Jay take a bath. Still trying to figure out if picture is Wood Pee-wee or another flycatcher. A hummingbird ran it off, and no time to capture any sound. Activity 3: I like top predators, what can I say. The Peregrine Falcon was my favorite as a kid. Red-tailed Hawk
