Bird Watching with Dad and Bro Rich

Cindi and I travelled down to Northern California this past Sunday to visit our family. We had a great time catching up with everyone. On Tuesday (today) my Dad, Brother Richard and his best friend of 40 years, Jeff Gale went out the Yolo Causeway (located between Davis and West Sacramento) to take pictures of critters. The Causeway is located smack dab in the middle of the Pacific Flyway. Waterfowl (and many other kinds of birds) were abundant. We had a great time and took pictures of many different species.

Here are some of the shots from today.

Wonderful pictures. We have a lot of cold and snow here. This has brought a lot of juncos to our feed and we've enjoyed some woodpeckers coming to the suet.

Have you ever gone to whatbird.com? They have a searchable field guide and a forum to ask questions and talk birds.
