I don’t want to complain too much, since I know most of the country is freezing right now, but it was a bit too sunny for our Saturday morning outing to San Joaquin Wildlife Sanctuary in Irvine. There was not a cloud in the sky and it was just too hot for an enjoyable stroll.
However, we did see a bunny, several small lizards, and this little guy:
The best part was probably resting on a bench under the shade. n liked his snack:
There were a lot of ducks, but I expected to see more birds. Here is one unique one I spotted. 
There was also a big one (sorry, don’t know my bird names) that swooped over our heads in a pretty dramatic fashion. Other than that, nothing too exciting. Maybe they are somewhere else for the winter.
It was an easy walk for kids (flat), but we’ll wait for a more overcast non-winter day to go again. At least parking is free (although limited)!

We've gone there a couple of times… once we saw a pretty large flock (?) of pelicans, which was pretty cool. In the spring there are supposed to be a lot of butterflies…
