Animal Fun! Sulphur Creek Nature Center, Hayward
I’ve been wanting to write about the Sulphur Creek Nature Center for a long time now. When my son was two and three, we visited the center regularly for their awesome toddler wildlife classes (for 1-3 year-olds). I found it was the best place in the San Francisco East Bay to give my son hands-onContinue reading “Animal Fun! Sulphur Creek Nature Center, Hayward”

Squirrel: On the Screen Door
I keep moving our bird feeder around our backyard, trying to find a location where the squirrels cannot attack it from. I’m failing. I’ve moved it so the squirrels cannot jump from the fence, but now they simply climb the backyard screen door and leap from there. As you can see, the brave little critterContinue reading “Squirrel: On the Screen Door”
Squirrels: Waiting
These two are such a nuisance. Now they’ve taken to sitting on the fence, one on each wall, watching me, waiting patiently for me to leave. I’m sure the second I’m away from the window, they’ll attack the bird feeder. Looks as if I may have to try one or two of these “Tips forContinue reading “Squirrels: Waiting”
Darn! The New Squirrel
We have a new backyard visitor… a young, nimble, ravenous squirrel. Since this one arrived, we haven’t seen our resident three-legged squirrel. This one appears to have taken over the territory. Even worse? This one is light and agile enough to jump from our barbecue onto the bird feeder! We’ve moved things around and stumpedContinue reading “Darn! The New Squirrel”

Llamas: Redwood Regional Park
Ever wanted to learn how to groom, feed, lead, and interact with llamas?? You can take a class through East Bay Regional Parks and take a walk through the redwoods. During our bike ride earlier this week (Kid Bike Ride: Redwood Regional Park), the kids stopped to watch this, a line of people walking withContinue reading “Llamas: Redwood Regional Park”
Signs of Spring: The Return of the Turkeys
Early yesterday morning, my son ran into the living room and screamed, “The turkeys are back! Come look at them all!” Sure enough, there was a gang of ten or so, walking across the hill behind our home. The turkeys can be seen around Dublin throughout the winter, but only return to our neighborhood inContinue reading “Signs of Spring: The Return of the Turkeys”

Neighborhood Wildlife: Young Buck
My son excitedly informed me yesterday afternoon that there was a boy deer on the hill behind our home. The buck was in no hurry to leave, giving me plenty of time to snap some photos. My son is sick (again), so he stayed home from school yesterday and today. Luckily, the neighborhood wildlife hasContinue reading “Neighborhood Wildlife: Young Buck”
