Beautiful Birds at Pacheco Marsh
Pacheco Marsh: A Natural Refuge
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. As a wildlife photographer, I love the backdrop of the hills, the tall grasses, the ships along the strait and the brand new walking bridges along the trails. There are a variety of birds, including egrets, hawks, ducks, marsh wrens, finches and sparrows to enjoy along the way. There are some very cool critters as well. Take a stroll and take in all the beauty of the Carquinez marshlands.

A White-tailed Kite soars over the tall grasses at Pacheco Marsh hunting for field mice. The oil tanker docked on the Carquinez Strait gives this photo a unique, colorful backdrop which is one of the things I love about this place.
