October is Fall Migration Time
by Laura Milholland

Las Gallinas ponds, San Rafael, CA

Early in the month, we have lots and lots of birds flying through with short
stops of a day or two before they move on to their winter grounds.
It's a great time to see birds that are not usually in our area.
That would NOT include these, though - we have Snowy Egrets, Great Blue Herons, and Black-crowned Night Herons year round,
however not in such large numbers as during this migration.

Nikon D5300 ,Nikkor 300mm f/4 ED-IF AF-S
1/2500s f/6.3 at 420.0mm iso500
w/Nikon 1.4 TC full exif


other sizes: small medium original auto

Nice. Looks like egrets and herons are hanging out around you, probably headed down here to Florida! :)

Nice catch! It is not often (if ever) that I see such a combination of birds in one spot like this.
