Lunar New Year (新年快乐）

Today is the lunar calendar's New Year.  Many people including Chinese, Koreans, and Vietnamese celebrate this day.   According to the Chinese zodiac, this is the year of Dragon.

In the morning between the rain clouds, I sometimes see seagulls flying gracefully with their wings wide spread.

And I can hear a flock of Canadian geese honking as they fly to another feeding spot.

Down here in my backyard, an aggrressive, but pretty Yellow-rumped Warbler flew in to PICK A BOO a Bewick's Wren right from behind.

Be nice, guys.  There is plenty of food around here.

"Yup, I am behaving,"  so says an Anna's humming bird as it sips its favorite sugar water.   "Happy Lunar New Year!"
