Bewick’s Wren at Palo Alto Baylands
Between getting over a cold and waiting out the most epic storms the Bay Area has seen in decades, I haven’t gotten many opportunities for photography in 2023. I finally was able to take advantage of a break in the weather to visit the Palo Alto Baylands. While I was walking around, I heard the…

Night Heron at the Palace of Fine Arts
I stopped by the Palace of Fine Arts after striking out at the Fort Mason Community Garden. It was well after sunset, but I figured the Black-Crowned Night Herons would be active. They were indeed, and a nearby houses’s holiday lights provided a good background reflecting off the lagoon. The best part was hearing some…

Late December in Point Reyes
After a month split between Minnesota and Hawaii, I was due for another trip to Point Reyes. I’ve been averaging about two trips a month since I first started going in August this year. There’s no predicting what I’m going to see on any given trip, but I’ve yet to be disappointed. The weather forecast…

Action-Packed Day at Point Reyes
I love going to Point Reyes whenever I get a chance. I’ve never had a bad outing, but every once in a while I have a day that really brings home what an amazing spot we have just an hour and a half from San Francisco. As I frequently do, I started out driving toward…

Sydney Royal National Park, Part 2
After my first trip to Royal National Park, I really wanted to see more. In that first visit, we had just barely scratched the surface of the bird life in the park, mostly focusing on common birds in nice settings. I didn’t have a car to reach the park, and I figured a guide would…

Sydney Royal National Park, Part 1
I took a day off from work in Sydney to go see Royal National Park, a large park about an hour drive south from the CBD. Most of the park is kept wild with the exception of access roads and hiking trails. There are just a few small villages inside the park and a few…

Birds of Sydney’s Urban Parks
Continuing my trip to Sydney in October (Part 1 here). As I mentioned, I was on a work trip, so most of my bird photography was done relatively close to the CBD in the mornings and evenings. Royal Botanic Gardens I didn’t have a lot of success in the botanical garden. Most of the birds…

Birds of Sydney’s Bicentennial Park
I took a trip to Sydney this October. This was my first time in Australia, and my first international trip since starting bird photography. It was a real treat. I was in Sydney for work, so I spent most of my time in the city. That meant a lot of my photography was limited to…

October in Point Reyes
I took a friend to see Point Reyes this weekend. It was a gloriously cloudy day allowing for good photography all day long. We were aiming for variety, so these are just some quick snapshots from the day.

Coyote at Fort Mason Community Garden
I headed to the Fort Mason Community Garden this evening to make videos of hummingbirds. There were just a few other people there: a garden member trimming a shrub, and a woman taking a walk with a toddler. I’d just gotten set up to film a hummingbird perched on a succulent when I heard the…
