Cat herder at work (of software developers). Love photographing birds and other critters on my frequent hikes around the San Francisco Bay Area.
A red-tailed hawk all done with its preening and ready for a close up now.

This aggressive male mute swan had just chased off a pair of swans that I was photographing from his side of the estuary (with lots of noise and commotion that was not at all “mute”). He then turned his attention to me. 😳
