Cat herder at work (of software developers). Love photographing birds and other critters on my frequent hikes around the San Francisco Bay Area.

A pair of mute swans takes flight after being harassed by an aggressive male swan (the subject of yesterday’s post). #TwosDay #birds #nature #wildlife #photography

This aggressive male mute swan had just chased off a pair of swans that I was photographing from his side of the estuary (with lots of noise and commotion that was not at all “mute”). He then turned his attention to me. 😳

A corvid not quite sure how to deal with gusty wind conditions so takes to walking instead of flying. #BirdOfTheDay #BirdsOnTheGround

Today’s #BirdOfTheDay theme is #Heron — so here’s my take!
Now, can you spot the Grey Heron? 🤣🪶
朝日なんですが金曜ロードショーの初代オープニングを連想してしまいますね(年齢)😅

A pair of pied-billed grebes in a very painterly looking pond. I liked the contrasting colors from the ripples on the water as reflected light alternates from late afternoon sun to shade from the trees. #Twosday #birds #wildlife #nature #photography
