Post 1: Nature

So I was going to do separate posts for each series of photos I have from the various things I've been doing but honestly, it's too much of a pain. So this one will be about nature.

First I went hiking at the ruins of the Sutro Baths and then went and hung out in Sutro Heights Park. Click the image to check out the set on Flickr:



A week later I went birdwatching/hiking in various areas. I walked from the Golden Gate Bridge across Crissy Field to the Palace of Fine Arts and then took the bus down to Golden Gate Park and went to Stow Lake. Click for the Flickr set:


Yesterday I was at Stow Lake. I saw a weird juvenile gull with grey/white legs:

Discovered that Mew Gulls:

will hover in the air in front of you and catch food that you throw in the air to them.
And saw one of the Great Blue Herons:



And last, but definitely not least, we've had a Peregrine Falcon hanging out on the island for the past week or so. It is awesome.

More pictures of it here.
