About Tim Seay

Beauty is Everywhere

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.

Wildlife photography has helped me reconnect with nature. It has also made me appreciate life and all the beauty it has to offer.

Birds of the California Delta; The Birds of Martinez

Song Sparrow perched on an old, hollowed out pylon

Radke Martinez Regional Shoreline Park

I love my morning photo walks at Radke Martinez Regional Shoreline Park.  Located just off the Carquinez Strait in Martinez, it is a hidden gem in the vast system of waterways in the California Delta. It is also a great place for birding, with a variety of birds year-round, including egrets, herons, ducks, sparrows, wrens, turkey vultures and osprey.

Pacheco Marsh

Pacheco Marsh is the latest restoration and public access project from the John Muir Land Trust. It is a great place for a nice, peaceful walk along the marshlands of the Carquinez Strait. There are a variety of birds, including egrets, hawks, ducks, marsh wrens, finches, sparrows and White-tailed Kites.

Mt. Wanda

Part of the John Muir Land Trust, Mt. Wanda is a great place to explore nature and a cool place for birding. If you love Acorn Woodpeckers, this is definitely the place for you. They can be seen frequently, either in flight or hoarding acorns on one of the granary trees in the area. Their unique “waka-waka” calls can be heard quite often along the trail systems of Mt. Wanda.
