OK, you've
seen them before - White Pelicans feeding in the slough. But
they're such cool birds I can't stop photographing them.
This Cliff
Swallow chick has been playing hide-and-seek with me for a couple
of weeks now - it never shows its face when I have the camera,
and stands in the doorway when I don't. This is the best shot
it's let me get so far.
This snowy
is perched where the kingfisher
was last week.
The California
Wild Rose (Rosa
californica)
is in full bloom now. There is a large "hedgerow"
of wild roses on the south side of the trail leading to Hummingbird
Island.
You've
seen the rookery before, but it's really starting to
cook now – the many chicks are creating a din that's definitely
worth hearing. If you want to see this photo BIG in a new window,
