Amazing photos Trude. Such clarity! The water droplets and the reflections. I spend so much time in the chaparral that I forget what is happening in the estuaries and marshes. Thank you for sharing your beautiful images!

As she has done before, Betty sent me your latest collection of excellent photos. They are great, every one of them!!! I enjoyed reading the folklare, too. My husband, Miller, and I now live in Albuquerque, New Mexico, and occasionally see some wild animals in our yard, mainly coyote, bobcat and roadrunner. I have been learning more about birds from your photos and information Betty sends to me. Marilyn

I am a friend of Lois and Betty and birded with them when I lived
in CA. Now I live in Bend, Or. and right now birds are resting
as snow is predicted for tonight. I plan to keep that slide show
of your pictures as a wonderful learning, birding experience.
Betty and Lois take me to your haunts when I come to California.

Wow, great pictures. They inspire me (to walk more in the wild; to take more pictures). Thanks. --Lou

Trude, Thank you for sharing. I felt as if I, too, had taken a walk through Bolsa Chica after I looked at your beautiful photos. Also enjoyed your captions.

As I have said before, Trude, your photos just get better and better. This latest collection is another example. As always, they are superb. I really like your coyote, slinking through the grass. Great shots. Betty

Dear friends and visitors, I have added captions that share a native legend or folklore about each animal portrayed. To read them, click on the photo and use the "next" arrow to continue. I hope you enjoy the stories! Trude

Thank you, Chris, for the kind words. I was entranced by the Great Egret stalking along in the water, creating different and beautiful reflections. I had to laugh when a duck CRASHED underwater as the Snowy Egret went overhead; you can just barely see it in the lower left corner. Enjoy your time in nature! Trude
