Morning in the Delta
Birdlife of the California Delta
I love my morning photo walks at Radke Martinez Regional Shoreline Park. Located just off the Carquinez Strait, it is a hidden gem in the vast system of waterways in the California Delta. So many birds. So many stories to share with my camera... enjoy!
