I saw this Green Heron on a log on Almaden Lake this morning. The birds love to pose for cameras. My ON1 Photo Raw software did a pretty good job cleaning up this noisy image shot on a cloudy morning at ISO 4500 with a DX sensor.

Saw a lot of Song Sparrows by Cottonwood Lake this morning. They don't sit still for long, but this one did for about 10 seconds so I could get the shot.

I went for a walk at Shoreline Park this morning and captured these images of a Snowy Egret, a Brown Pelican and a pair of White-tailed Kites.

Saw these two does and a fawn on Santa Teresa Golf Course last week. I'm seeing a lot more deer in the area the last couple of months. #deer #photography #wildlife #golfcourse

Here are a couple of Wood Ducks I saw on Cottonwood Lake today. I've seen the females before, but this is the first time I've seen the male - wow! That's the most beautiful duck I've ever seen. #birds #photography #woodduck #hellyerpark 🪶

Here are the birds from my morning walk in Hellyer Park - a couple of White-crowned sparrows, a Great Blue Heron that has caught a fish, and someone's escaped Budgie.

I just returned from a trip through New England this week. Here's a photo of the Portland Head Light at Cape Elizabeth. There's probably a million photos of this view on the Internet. So, now there's a million and one. 😀

Goose Fight! This is a little different than what I usually post. I've never seen geese flight so violently before on Cottonwood Lake in Hellyer County Park.

I didn't see much wildlife when I visited Santa Teresa Park this morning...until I was driving out. Just as I was leaving the park I noticed this Red-shouldered hawk perched on a power line and captured the image out my car window.

This coyote was very wary of me watching him from within my car this morning.

When walking by Almaden Lake this morning I came upon an Oak Titmouse attempting to eat a rather large green caterpillar. That's a pretty big meal for such a small bird...

Today I saw my first Canada Geese goslings of the season swimming in Cottonwood Lake at Hellyer County Park. This is about 2 weeks earlier than last year.
