A Favorite Place
Dan and I went to a favorite spot today, meeting up with a few other photography pals as well. Here is a quick shot from our visit.

Where I’d LOVE To Be
… but since I have no time to visit the birds, I’ll visit them on my computer.

New Year’s Day
I will never grow weary of visiting our friends in the San Joaquin Valley!

Pelican
Working with birds isn’t my strong point. But … well … pelican. So whatever.

Another Bird … Or Three (if blurs count!)
One more and then the walk must take place! (Truth be told I should be staying home cleaning a VERY messy house. Oh well! It’ll wait.)
This is the black-necked stilt with some blurry coots in the background (but who cares about an old coot, right? 😉 )

Three Birds
Good morning, world!
This is from yesterday’s quick loop with the birds. I know the one in the water is an avocet (American avocet, I’m guessing), but I don’t know about the two flying. Anyone?
Good Morning Birds!
Revisiting my photos from January and February. (I was actually searching for something that might fit the “Indigo” part of the rainbow, as I’m doing a rainbow series. Looks like indigo might have to be skipped over, as I want just the right thing and nothing is screaming, “Pick me! Pick me!”) Typical me: as I am searching I am distracted by something else.
Ah well … why not share a few of these birds, with which (whom?!) I will say good morning!?
Cranes & Geese in Fog (I), 2.13.15
Oh how I love these birds. When I look through all the shots — and believe me there are a ton! — I get the sound of the birds in my head as well. They are not timid and quiet little things, to be sure.
On this particular day we saw birds NOT of a feather flocking together. Or something like that. Cranes. Geese. Egrets. All on the field together. What a sight!
I don’t think I managed to get many shots with more than one egret, but trust me, they were there. Here you can see one in the front. He looks as if he’s posing and saying, “Well yes, it IS all about me!” Or maybe I just have a crazy imagination. (And ironically, as I look at this post, I see my watermark blocking much of said egret. I guess it’s all about me instead. Hah!)

Central Valley Stilt
We visited the birds on Friday the 13th. It was a wonderful, albeit short, visit!
