Manipulated image - juvenile Phoebe bird shown in a composite... these photos were taken one second apart, where the bird was perched on the same spot and facing the same direction.  One image was inverted and pasted over the other... slight smearing was done to hide lines.  You can see the same seeds at the feet of each bird.

Composite photo from Barbara Renshaw's  September 5, 2004 docent-led walk "Coon Creek Berry Hunt."  Spring and summer flowers have faded away, leaving colorful berries.  Some are tasty and some are not.  Some have medicinal uses, and some are just plain poison.  Enjoy a fall hike where we find and discuss the berries.  Meet in Montaña de Oro State Park at the end of Pecho Valley Road in the Coon Creek parking lot.  Bring water and wear sturdy walking shoes. (Moderate) 3-5mi., 2-3hr.
