wildlife of lake merritt

[jaeclectic]

Egrets. Did you know egrets have yellow feet? Bright yellow. I don't believe I have ever before been close enough to an egret to really appreciate this.

Also, unless I am much mistaken, loons. And the more prosaic ducks, geese, seagulls, pigeons, swallows. Lots of geese. Including one batch of fuzzy yellow babies.

One black bunny rabbit, one brown squirrel.

One roller-blader with a baby carriage, not looking completely under control of her vehicle.

Various humanoids talking to themselves, with or without visible evidence of cellular connectivity.

Numerous joggers and walkers, with wildly varying degrees of purposefulness and senses of fashion.

Of whom, of course, I was one.
