Bird-watching with Mochi

Haha. Bird-watching with Mochi.

Mochi loves birds. He doesn't want to eat them, he just wants to run up to to them with glee and say hello. Not surprisingly, we have yet to meet a bird that doesn't misinterpret this action.

I took Mochi to the Little Econ Greenway this morning after our trip to the dog park. He really enjoyed walking down by (and splashing in) the water, as well as attempting to greet the local bird population. Luckily for them, pets must be leashed at the Greenway. Unluckily for me, photographing anything while holding an eager dog on a leash is a bit of a challenge. There were some great potential bird shots that didn't turn out as well as I'd have liked due to either Mochi tugging on me or the fact that I didn't want to get close enough for him to scare the birds. Still, it was a good morning.

I know this isn't the greatest picture, but check out the turtle balancing on his belly with his legs up in the air!
And for those of you looking for some Charlie action, here she is playing fetch, while Mochi looks on.
