The snowy Egrets are gorgeous. I've never seen any in person(bird I mean). Do sometimes seen a crane. In the neighboring area ( rich) many in the gaited community have ponds so I've seen them there.

I wouldn't consider myself to be close to the ocean, but looking on a map, I suppose it is really not that far. As the crow flies, I am less than 20 miles from the ocean. Realistically, Mountain View is around 25 miles from Halfmoon Bay, and 33 miles from San Francisco.

I guess 20 miles isn't too far. I'd be sneaking down to the beach occasionally to see the shore birds. :p Do you have Sandpipers there? Such cute little birds!

It's been about 8 yrs since I've been on a horse. :p The upkeep around here got to be too much for me as well. After the goats and horses were gone, I decided the poultry were all more my speed. :D

According to the Audubon website, sandpipers use California as a place to rest between their breeding and wintering grounds. I haven't seen any in the wild, but I think they have them in the shore birds exhibit at the Monterey Bay Aquarium, so I have likely seen them there. They are adorable!
 
Two Crows, I think the only times I rest is when I'm unconscious or napping. Too driven for my own good. At 73 I figure I could go "Poof" at any time and be gone :oops:

Sandpipers are so darn cute! Some species are endangered now, super sad. It's so interesting how shorebirds have adapted to living along oceans, just super fascinating to me. I need to live along the sea shore somewhere instead of this dry arid mountain top. :p
 
Here is a chicken-related question:
I bought a chicken saddle for my Speckled Sussex hen, because she lost feathers on her lower back (we do not have a rooster) and has been isolating herself from the rest of the flock to avoid getting pecked by Orloff. If I put it on her during the day, will she react negatively? I have heard of chickens that were very unhappy about having a saddle when it was first put onto them.
