We spent the day doing a variety of fun activities with our friends for an early birthday celebration.

My present was a game from 1992 called "Why Not?" I will discuss this further, but I loved how they used the pieces to write a sweet note on my new baking sheets.

First stop was Logan Shoals to admire the new snow and spectacular views. Wow.

They took us to Virginia Lake, a 1938 WPA project and an oasis in the middle of downtown Reno, where bird watching was at a pinnacle. What a treat.

We then met up with some 'angels', who had rescued this injured hawk, so Bob and Jenny could bring it to Lake Tahoe Wildlife Care Center. What a beautiful little bird.
Our final destination was the Lahontan Audubon Society's ever-popular bird ID panel meeting called "Stump the Experts". These birders took on the challenge of identifying birds from photos submitted by the audience. Several of them were Jenny's images! So very, very cool and a neat way to learn more about ornithology.

What a fabulous day #22 of my birthday month.
