Another amazing west coast bird, the Black Oystercatcher. SO COOL. 😍 This one was all by itself on a rock near a cormorant colony, where I finally saw, and got terrible pics of, some Pelagic Cormorants too. #birds

Spotted Towhee! I always look for them in Chicago, but it's never a Spotted, not yet. 😒 I am envious of the west coast for having so many of them. #birds

Okay, I'm bored to tears with my current running playlist. I need new songs. What are your fave songs for a workout? I listen to almost everything.

What is THIS??? Lakefront running park in Chicago today. #bugs has got to be a Hagan, right?

Marbled Godwits! 😍 Absolutely thrilling to see a bunch of them foraging at Moss Landing. #birds

I fixed my vacuum cleaner! Please clap. Every 2 years something goes wrong with my vac. Usually it's because I've neglected a maintenance step, but I still feel like a champion when I figure it out and can vacuum again. All cleaning is impossible if I can't vacuum. Have now vacuumed 4 rooms.

I got THREE grebe lifers in San Francisco. After spotting the Western and Clark's Grebes at Lake Merced, I got to see (finally!) an Eared Grebe at Moss Landing (plus more Westerns and Clark's). I love their fancy spray of feathers. :) #birds

All Phoebes are lovely, but the Say's Phoebe is somehow extra lovely? A watercolor painting of a bird. #birds

My lunchtime read. 👇 A lovely piece on time, memory, friendship, storytelling.

Morning on the lakefront after a big storm. 😊

I was extremely proud of myself for getting one decent photo of a Wrentit in S.F. It helps to basically get inside the shrub yourself. 😁 #birds
