had the same idea.
It was a cool but gorgeous day. We went to Consumnes River Preserve in SW Sacramento County.
No Sandhill Cranes or Snow Geese, but thousands of White-fronted Geese (like, THOUSANDS), various water and shorebirds (even Avocets and Stilts, LW's new favorite birds), blackbirds, tons of Yellow-Rumped Warblers and many others.
LW got really into it, and told me NOW he gets why I love birds. He said...they're so cute! Exactly!
Either way, I woke up in a funk, and chose birding as my response. :)
