Oakland Locals

These herons and hummingbirds are both found frequently in Oakland.  I see herons in Lake Merrit, and hummingbirds buzzing around flowers in gardens everywhere.  The iris are less common, but they are nice. 

Both of these are fairly new mosaic trash cans done by New World Mosaics and they are in the lower part of downtown oakland,  just below Old Town and Chinatown.
