She also gave me direct orders to cheer for Seattle, but that won’t be too hard because I’m not a fan of the Niners but I do like the Rams.😎🏈

Well, my Chargers thoroughly embarrassed themselves, but Pittsburgh looked worse. 😂

Love them all.

You too. I assume you will be watching the playoffs.

They really are spectacular. I love hearing them call and giggle and it’s just wonderful. They are disappearing in their native places yet here they are in San Diego. Sad.

Anna’s dive is unrivaled!

It was. Thanks.

Yep, naturalized here -from border and escaped pets.

Imperial Beach. Regular Amazons and Monk parakeets here.

My feeder boss is an Allen’s male, and he really doesn’t tolerate me and I have been poked in the back when I go into the house to freshen his feeders. 😂

Definitely.

Yes!

Love them!
