It&#8217;s been so cold that I haven&#8217;t had my running shoes on for a bit, so it felt really good to get back out on the levee this morning for some fresh air and sunshine. A bald eagle even flew over my head and down the trail before landing in a tree where it allowed me to watch it munch on something for a minute. I also enjoyed watching a cormorant, blue heron, lots of seagulls, geese and ducks forage and swim in the water.
