This young barn swallow and its sibling were being fed by their parents when I came by. As with many critters, especially young ones, they were willing to sit tight when there was food to be had. If not for the food I probably wouldn’t have gotten the photo.
Whenever I photograph a bobcat I try to determine its sex. I usually get a good enough look to be able to tell. This one is obviously a male. Even if I couldn’t determine its sex in the normal way, I’d assume this one to be a male based simply on the shoulder muscles. For some reason, the vast majority of bobcats I see are males.
Just down the street from my house is an agricultural field. In the winter part of it floods. It drains into a large wetland which is connected to San Francisco Bay. It attracts herons, egrets and ducks. A couple of days ago a great blue heron was hunting there. I stopped and watched to see what it would catch. I expected it to catch small fish. To my surprise it caught several crayfish. It will soon dry up. If you would like to purchase a print of this image click here.
