Plentiful out on the pond. The males all had quite blue-looking heads instead of green; must be something about the light?

The pickleweed throughout the preserve was pretty sad and dead; all dry and grey except for the tips of the plants.

I somehow didn't take any photos of the various huge domestic and wild geese all over the place. Here's one in the background, surrounded by American Coots, a clump of Canada Geese, and a pair of Mallards.

I saw your name on the screen at the end of the day and I was like "What! Sea-kangaroo is here! And I was looking around the room trying to find you but it's not like I know what you look like. I thought about asking someone, but I chickened out.
Haha, I know! I saw your name like a day later. Maybe we should wear hats with our icon animals on them?
Where did you see notice about the 'blitz?
Hm, I guess I don't actually know. I thought I'd read about it in a journal post from grrylfalcon, but I can't find it mentioned in her journal or the San Mateo County project one. So I guess either somewhere else on iNat or maybe by seeing it on the front page of Nerds For Nature.
Well I don't know about you but I look like my profile icon animal = )
Yah the Nerds for Nature site has all the upcoming bioblitzes in the bay area: http://nerdsfornature.org/bioblitz/
Some more places to keep track of these:

I, for one, bear a striking resemblance to my icon animal.
Well, my icon is tree-kangaroos, so while there's a strong family resemblance they lack my magnificent tail fin.
Thanks for the links -- and i'm delighted to see a blitz coming up where i've been doing King Tide photography. Some more Greco island photos two weeks after this tide will be great to get.
Does the question of icon resemblance mean i have to wear this hat even if its not freezing? I'll melt.
