Pay attention to quantity, calorie count when feeding
For the last 10 years, I have paid much more attention to the type and amount of food our pets eat. I have found that feeding the right ingredients and amount has a big effect on their health. Feeding too much food by not measuring or leaving food out all day may allow some dogs and cats to become obese. Obese pets have more trouble getting around, can't breathe as well and the extra weight can be really hard on their heart, lungs, back and joints.
Birds: Here’s looking at you
The south Bay Area is abounding with an astounding variety of avian life. The fascinating hobby of bird-watching allows you to discover and appreciate the marvelous diversity of wildlife all around us. At water's edge you may see a majestic great blue heron or a reclusive American bittern; you will learn how to tell the difference between great and snowy egrets; you might be surprised by a crested blue-and-white belted kingfisher suddenly diving into the water and emerging with a fish. Paddling on a creek or pond, you may see buffleheads (striking black and white ducks) or an elusive, gorgeous, multi-colored wood duck.
