I saw one today at the barn! Just after this I had to move my car and as I was driving he was on the ground just about ten feet from me! So beautiful! I was going slowly but it spooked him and I got to watch him fly off.

Snow geese’s coming in for a landing. I took a series, it’s around 30 photos. It’s amazing how many adjustments (wings, tail, body etc) it makes as it comes in to land. Truly amazing!!! 1/2

Large Great Blue Heron at Crescent, San Francisco Bay, Emeryville, California. This heron was standing close to the shoreline last night. It was about an hour after sunset so the resolution is less than perfect.

These tiny birds are year-round residents in my yard, and I’m lucky to see them at the bird feeder everyday.
