Killdeer and Blackbird


The Killdeer was working after sunset and the Blackbirds are in full mating fury. They were signing up a storm in the reeds of the lagoon.

Warren, these are all from Pierce Point in the Pt. Reyes Nat'l Seashore. Abbots Lagoon is located on the road to Pierce Point. Sometimes the Elk are close by the road and other times you need to scout around on the Tomales Bay or Ocean Side. This day I spotted two females and walked about 15 minutes for the rest of the group. It is fun and you feel like a wildlife photographer. Often you will see mountain lions, coyotes, and bobcats, as well as whales of the coast. Anybody in the SFBA who wants to do a day trip let me know and we can plan an adventure.

Many years ago, we did a hike at Tomales Bay to see the elk herd there. It was great to see them, and I'd like to check them out again one of these days, and see other wildlife too.

Dan,

I like the picture on the right, seem more dramatic. The colors and the lighting make this a wonderful picture. How long did it take to get this shot? I find when I either have to approach the birds slowly or camp out and wait for them to return.

Thanks for sharing.
