Today's walk (5/5/23)

Well, trike ride; it was rainy and I want to sit. The gull was observed while I was waiting for the bus.

Heard some frogs and some birds I'm not equipped to identify, and I learned those little "ferny things" are in fact flixweed, an introduced species.

This one's focused on that faint "hoo-hoo-hoo" sound. It's on the tip of my brain. The voice reminds me of a mourning dove, but looking them up this doesn't match any of their call patterns?
