Early Monday morning, on the 16th of October, 2023 I had the privilege of photographing Sandhill Cranes at the Woodbridge Ecological Reserve in Lodi, CA. This was actually the second time I have been at the reserve at sunrise to capture their beauty on the freshwater marsh. They are magical.
I also got a chance to photograph other birds as well, including a Barred Rock Rooster, Black Phoebes, Mockingbirds, Song Sparrows and a variety of migrating geese and ducks. It is an amazing place for photography, both early in the morning and at dusk. A must see indeed. I'll be heading back later this month and in November as well.
