Zooming In

 

Red-Shouldered Hawk in Golden Gate Park

Interesting mix of sun and clouds yesterday, with a fine line often separating blue skies from billowing clouds. Looking out at Seal Rocks from the Cliff House, the sky was practically clear, and dozens of Brandt's cormorants preened in the sun's warmth on the guano-painted little islands. A slight turn of the head toward Mt. Tamalpais, however, showed mountains of clouds towering over the pusher tug Jake Shearer as it barged into San Francisco Bay on its way to port in Rodeo. On the back of the barge in large lettering was "Fight Fanconi Anemia," a rare genetic disease that took the life of young Jake Shearer in 2003.
