Mikey's Christmas Party

Thanks Mike & Dan for throwing a fun Christmas party last night. Food was delicious, as usual. That manicotti was so good and the ham, scrumptious. Festive times were had by all.

Birdwatching on a Cold Day

Last Sunday, I joined Judy and Larry (and a few Museum members) to birdwatch at Headlands. What a fantastic day. Yes, the wind chill was -20, but we were a hardy bunch. We all enjoyed seeing two Purple Sandpipers frolicking on the rocks. They'd run down to the edge of the barrier, get splashed by a wave, eat some algae and run back up the rock. It was fun to watch. After Headlands, we went to Burke to see the Snowy Owl. The numbers of gulls were incredible. All photos by Judy Semroc. It was too cold for me to take my mittens off my hands! Kudos to Judy for such great shots.
