Animal Fun! Sulphur Creek Nature Center, Hayward

When my son was two and three, we visited the center regularly for their awesome toddler wildlife classes (for 1-3 year-olds).

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”

I’ve had two amazing surprises within the past week that, unfortunately, I wasn’t able to capture with my camera. Both were visitors to our backyard. The first was… a fox!
