Beauty is Everywhere
I have been passionate about photography ever since my high school days in Hillsboro, Oregon. Back then, it was all about sports and news events. These days, I love photographing birds in their environment. It's my passion in life.

My Mission
Over the next year, I will be traveling around the California Delta to photograph birds of all kinds. From Red-tailed Hawks to Song Sparrows. From Osprey to Sandhill Cranes and everything in between.

This week's featured birds
Common Yellowthroat (Geothlypis trichas)
Common Yellowthroat on the hunt for insects on the Pickleweed Trail at Radke Park. These yellow and olive colored warblers love the dense vegetation in areas of the Carquinez marshlands.
Northern Mockingbird (Mimus polyglottos )
Northern Mockingbird checking out its territory on the Pickleweed Trail at Radke Park. These songbirds (passerines) love to mimic the songs of other birds. They love open areas with shrubs and trees, but can also be spotted in forests, urban areas and backyards. They are also territorial and can be aggressive towards birds and other intruders during mating season, including fearlessly fending off hawks.
American Kestrel (Falco sparverius)
American kestrel scanning the marshland on the Pickleweed Trail at Radke Park. This colorful bird is the smallest and most common falcon in North America. They are amazing hunters, with a diet consisting of insects, small mammals and other small creatures.
Great Blue Heron (Ardea herodias)
This Great Blue Heron is a familiar sight at Big Break Regional Shoreline Park in Oakley. This adult loves to hunt for fish in shallow waters and wetland habitats, but can also hunt for small prey on land. They are patient and lightning fast when they strike. On hot days, they will cool off by rapidly vibrating their throat muscles to cool down. It is known as gular fluttering, which can be seen in the picture above.
