Hero Shot

I saw this rock wren up at Lake Berryessa. He had caught a nice spider and asked me to take a picure of him posing with his catch. He told me to text it to him so he could send it to some of his buddies and post it on Instagram. The light was a little harsh but it came out okay. The main thing in the picture was that he held the spider out in front of him so it looked big. Birds call that long beaking it and it is somewhat frowned on but they still do it.

I threw in a mink I saw, a beautiful wood duck next to some garbage and some lobsters I got last week in Sun Diego. The mink picture I like. You dont see them much and they don't pose nicely for you when you do see them. This one gave me about 10 seconds then dove in the water.

Excellent pics John. The mink and the rock wren especially so.

I think John is getting out way more than most. Thanks.


I was wondering where you got the lobsters.



When I was a teenager hunting ducks and pheasants the Wood Duck hunting was closed due to low populations.

Then some nice folks started putting special Wood Duck houses up in many of our sloughs.

Today, I believe, we have a good population of these gorgeous birds.
