We saw a cute bird over near Pike’s Market. Me, I don’t know birds. I can distinguish crows from herons, vultures from pigeons, and that’s about it. To me, anything small and brown like this is a sparrow. If anyone wishes to correct me, go right ahead.

We went to the aquarium, too, and miraculously I was able to take a few decent photos of the critters. On that same page, I’ve posted the notorious Puget Sound Big-Assed Clam.

Here’s a better quality photo of Jayna, Elissa, and Stan.
