My wife and I took our son fishing and hiking today and we had a blast. My son who is 6 &1/2 caught a bluegill which was a first for him( he has caught Trout and Salmon before). We also saw some great animals including some lizards, Gray Squirrel, a Western Rattlesnake, and our River Otter, who we have seen several times over the past couple of days. We also saw some great birds Great Egret, Osprey, Green Heron, Downey, Nuttall's and Acorn Woodpeckers, Bullocks Oriole, Scrub Jay, American Robin, Brewers Blackbird, Black Phoebe, Forsters Tern, Spotted and California Towhee, house Finches, American Goldfinch, Yellow Rumped Warbler, Oak Titmouse, Common Yellow Throat, and another new bird, a Black HEaded gRosbeak, which at first I thought was a Towhee but was not. The best part was hanging with my boy and seeing the look on his face after he caught his bluegill, which he let go so someone else could enjoy catching it. What a great kid!!!!!
