Dad's Day

---

Today we got up early and made our way across Paris to join 10 Parisian bird enthusiasts for a morning tramping through the Bois de Boulogne. While we didn’t see many birds we did see some interesting ones including the Green Woodpecker. In a continuation of our bird themed day after lunch we went to the Natural History Museum. We didn’t actually get inside though. The Museum has in addition to a museum and a zoo, an extensive set of gardens. We walked through the gardens, coming upon another interesting bird the Gray Heron. By the time we had finished in the gardens it was getting to be dinner time and our feet were starting to hurt. We made our way back towards our apartment and found a restaurant a few blocks away and had a wonderful, large, authentic Parisian dinner of Beef Bourguignon with a Peach Melba ice cream and Chestnut Crepe for dessert.
*Names of places and birds should now be correct (thanks dad)!!

Probably a Crow, although it could be a Rook.

Pigeon
I think it is a wood pigeon.

Hi Maryanne, The woods in which we went for the Bird Walk was the Bois de Boulogne. The bird we found was a Green Woodpecker (not a Vulture). We did see a Great Cormorant which flew over, it looks somewhat like a Vulture. And the Heron is a Gray Heron. I'm glad you enjoyed the Bird Walk. Sounds like you also enjoyed dinner.
