Sorry, that's the best excuse I could come up with for letting my blog languish for over 6 weeks since the last post! Side effect for me is having to account for 14 photo missions reaping many thousands of shots.
To make this post visually palatable, I have selected a few of my best saved images from each excursion with a grand finale of Western Grebes. The missions included the following places:
Point La Jolla
Brandt's Cormorants - Double-crested Cormorants - Peregrine Falcon - Sea Lions - Brown Pelican
Santee Lakes
Ring-necked Duck - Wood Duck
Ramona Grassland
Coyote (above) - Red-tailed Hawk - Squirrel Lookout
Laguna Niguel Regional Park
American Kestrel - White-tailed Kite
San Joaquin Wildlife Sanctuary
Red-tailed Hawk (face-on in-flight shot)
Bolsa Chica Ecological Reserve
Kingfisher - Red-tailed Hawk - Reddish Egret - Kite pair - Sunrise
Lindo Lake Park
Black-crowned Night Heron in flight
Lake Hodges
Acorn Woodpecker - Great Blue Heron - Killdeer
San Diego Zoo Safari Park
California Condor - East African Grey-crowned Crane - Cheetah - Tiger
Lake Wohlford
Western Grebes "rushing" (display of mating behavior)
These spots are scattered about, Huntington Beach being the furthest north and San Diego on the southern end. I've enjoyed several of these locations with a friend, Adriana Greisman, who is a renowned, award-winning photographer.
So, I have structured the gallery below to show the images in the order of the sites listed above. Enjoy and please feel free to communicate your impressions.
Thanks,
Steve
