Hmmm, that title sounds familiar. Probably because it is what I used two weeks ago also on a Sunday and volunteering at Reifel. While there was a few other things to see, it was the same two birds that provided the best photo opportunities.
One of the six Black-crowned Night-Heron currently in the sanctuary was roosting on a fallen tree in Fuller’s Slough. As I mentioned in another recent post, always fun to get them in different spots.
While there was a high count of five Northern Saw-whet Owls not long ago, my last few visits I have only ever managed to see one. Such was the case again this afternoon.
A lot of visitors were walking right by it as it was tucked away lower in the branches today. I took several groups back so they could get a look at it. To get this shot the tripod was collapsed all the way down looking up under the tree. I also used a cable release and the mirror up function as the shutter speed was quite low.
