Ron and I still work on dishAdish from time to time. In fact, we’re in the process of launching dishAdish vegetarian. It’s the same layout and data as the regular dishAdish, but only displays the dishes marked as vegetarian. I think it will be an interesting feature to be able to find the best vegetarian dishes at a given restaurant.

Since last weekend Mary and I haven’t had a chance to look for the peregrines downtown. From the Yahoo Group it sounds like they are starting to venture all over San Jose, though they still seem to return to City Hall for the night.  I do have a few new pictures from last weekend in my San Jose Peregrine album.

We have been checking on the burrowing owls in Alviso near the “Magic Fence”. There are a few burrows in the fields near the fence, and at least one group of fledglings. We have seen as many as three fledgling at once. They are really cute. The burrows are really close to the road and sadly, at least one of the fledgling has been hit by a car and killed. One of the people we met through watching the falcons downtown has also been watching the burrowing owls. After the incident with the car she posted a bunch of signs around the area asking people to be more careful and watch for the owls. Fortunately now that the young are flying a bit they seem to be spending more time in the field away from the road. There are more pictures of the burrowing owls in the gallery. The albums are separated by year and the 2008 album is broken down by day.
