Osprey on the Carquinez Strait with a Striped Bass in its sharp talons
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.
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 Sandhill Cranes to Osprey and
everything in between.
Mourning Dove foraging for seeds at McNabney Marsh in Martinez. You'll find these graceful, slender birds all across the California Delta and are a common sight across the continent. Their habitat is the open woodlands. Mourning doves feed on seeds, nest in trees and are considered a universal symbol of peace, hope, love and freedom.
Acorn Woodpeckers on one of the many granary trees on Mt. Wanda in Martinez. These busy birds live in large groups, hoarding acorns and wedging them into holes for later use. Their unique "waka-waka" call can be heard quite often on the trails of Mt. Wanda.
Great Egret taking flight at McNabney Marsh, with Snowy egrets below. The Great Egret is a long-legged wading bird with a long S-curved neck and dagger-like bill. They are extremely patient and persistent when hunting for fish and small rodents. The wing-span of an adult is between 51.6 - 57.1 inches.
Your contribution will enable us to support our cause and continue operations. We are very grateful for your generosity.
