I snapped this photo of a Yellow-rumped Warbler on a tree by Almaden Lake this morning. I rarely see these birds here.

There were many Acorn Woodpeckers rapidly flying from tree to tree near Cottonwood Lake this morning. This one stayed put just long enough for me to get this shot.

Mallards by Dottie's Pond. The pond is known for an urban legend in South San Jose of a girl who got pulled under by a giant hand after killing her parents by telekinesis, Be careful or her ghost might pull you under. The ducks don't seem to care.

It's been awhile since I've walked the Guadalupe Creek Trail. It's a very easy walk with lots of birds. Here's one shot I got of a Snowy Egret.

Coyotes playing and snuggling near dusk. I regularly see one of these guys in Santa Teresa Park about an hour before sunset. Today, he brought along two friends.

By luck caught this photo of a coyote in mid-leap while hunting its prey. I see this guy frequently in Santa Teresa park and have many still shots of him, but this is the only "action" shot I have.

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.
