Migratory Birds Slowly Return


Old friends returning to Sonoma County.  The Red Tail Hawks I've seen on several occasions around the area but this guy flew into the tree outside my studio window. To get the picture I was standing on one foot leaning over my work bench toward the window, the other foot in the air behind me for balance. One hand on the camera elbow on top of the computer screen and the other hand parting the blinds to get the telephoto through.  Your typical stance of a wildlife photographer.




To see the full photos click once on the picture and wait.



At the Petaluma Wet Lands a Ruddy Duck and a good many of his friends have made an early appearance.


The Shoveler duck joins the Ruddys.
