Journal Entries from Russian River Trip
My wonderful friend Kate celebrated her birthday by going on a canoeing day-trip on the Russian river up in Marin County, and I was lucky enough to go along… In between rope swings and a delcious picnic lunch, I got lots of chances to “show off” my bird-nerd status by identifying these guys for my canoeing companions. A great day in the outdoors, with three (!) new sightings for me, all below.
Expect the new issue of Bird Brain out for APE this weekend, if all goes well. I have a lot of drawings and birding to do to meet my deadline, but I think I can doit… if I absolutely need to I’ll include some older illos from older journals.
I’ve always enjoyed birdwatching while boating down the rivers. Good, healthy rivers tend to support good, healthy populations of birds. Canoeing and Kayaking Guide for the lower Russian River.
