Jerar made some starts at 1B during spring training and there’s a vid of him taking drills with Ron Washington. So he doesn’t exactly have 0 experience.

As a Giants fan that lives in Sacramento and attends a number of River Cats games each season, this literally didn’t cross my mind until people started mentioning it. 😅

It’s been a struggle sorting through my photos from Botswana. So much is the context, the moment, the experience. For now, perhaps you’ll enjoy an #antelope assortment?

Central Valley #Birding Symposium field trip Home Is Where the Birds Are: Local Garden Tour. Three wonderful hosts shared how they provide habitat for wildlife. Stockton Garden Club habitat garden. René Reyes’ primarily native plantings. Frances Oliver’s variety of Salvia species and colors.

We’re on a boat! Pardee Reservoir #eagle tour with EBMUD for the Central Valley #Birding Symposium this morning. We saw both Bald and Golden eagles, with the golden in particular a county bird and lifer for two excited participants. ❤️🛥️🦅

I can’t even begin to describe my experience on safari for 16 days in Botswana, so please enjoy this taste while I process. 😅

Yeah we did it. The Hallmark #birding movie with #homemade spicy margs, #canned salsa & #pickled jalapeños, and #friends. No better way to spend a #furlough Wednesday. And yes, he will be a very successful birding guide with those binoculars. ❤️

We’re so deeply uncool here in Sacramento that we only gave him a 15-story-tall mural. 🥲

Brent and I thoroughly enjoyed the #Sacramento #Archive Crawl yesterday! We visited the Stanley Mosk #Library & Courts Building, the State Archives, and the Sacramento Room at the Central Library. We’ll definitely attend next year!

Now hang on… I just saw a commercial for tires with a lady #birding and they showed a Black-throated Blue Warbler and I could swear the #bird song they played was actually a Black-throated Blue Warbler. Did I just see the most accurate commercial featuring a bird ever?! For tires?!

Obligatory beaver statue selfie after presenting at American River College’s Intro to Ornithology class this morning. Thanks to the humidity for giving my hair quite the frizz. 😂🦫🦅

There's a new guest post on the WOS blog! Konshau Duman writes about his discovery that White-throated Sparrows regularly mimic the chip calls of Golden-crowned Sparrows, opening up new questions about whether calls are learned. #ornithology wilsonsociety.org/2025/09/26/g...
