Thanks to chuck three productions for video coverage ;-D

Muir Beach

Today we ventured into the Muir Beach area to join the PRBO team, Ed and Megan, for a session of mist-netting and bird-banding.

The small bag that Ed is carrying is what is used to transport birds that are caught to the cataloguing site.

Megan is disengaging a Spotted Towhee from one of eleven mist-nets setup in the area.

Megan is about to release a Golden-crowned Sparrow after the cataloguing and banding process. Other birds we saw for banding today were the Lesser Gold Finch and a Bushtit.

Chess Picnic

We spent Saturday afternoon in Golden Gate park at a Chess Picnic held by one of Syd's friends.

Artseed Fun Run

Thursday night we attended the ArtSeed Fun Run 5k.  We walked part-way before heading back for the after-run festivities.

Syd's drawing entry won for the t-shirt design contest!

Jellies

Loved the jellyfish at the Monterey Bay Aquarium, too!

These lobed jellyfish were new to me.
