Hello All.... Yesterday, Thursday morning, at the UC Botanical Garden
saw a hooded oriole in the California section. A pair has been known to
nest in the palms in the desert section.
In the Central American section, lively Selasphorus chasing each other
around amid the full flowering penstemons and salvias. Also, along the middle trail there, inside a small tree canopy, was a fat robin sitting
on her nest. This is a great time to visit there.
Starting July 7, as part of the Golden Gate Audubon Nature Studies,
the class, Birds & Butterflies: Easy Garden Enchantment begins.
Learn about year round ecological gardening to attract hummingbirds,
butterflies, and other friendly pollinators, as well as the legacy of
native California plants. 4 week course with Field Trip. Register:
