Little Wood Duck




























Little C and I spent the day at the old salt mine together.




Actually we spent the day touring the salt mine and snapping pics.....

This is the girls all lined up outside after their safety lecture....


Dad is happy he's not digging ditches today.....















There was a goose egg right next to these two geese in the weeds... hmmmm, who does this belong to?
















Boat rides on closed reservoirs are fun!
















Especially when you get to drive!
















31 eggs in this nesting box south of Moraga.
















While all the girls snuck up quietly, even with the ladder, not one hen was to be found. Hopefully out feeding and not a victim of Mr. raccoon.
Lots more on this trip, many nontraditional jobs were explained, etc.
Driving the big yellow machine was cool, but the boat ride got the rave reviews.
Too bad the camera batteries pooped out!

If Mr. Raccoon ate any hens, I'm pretty sure he'd have eaten some eggs & left the shells, too.

Looks like a gorgeous day...nice to know it's good and sunny outside of the city!
