I Left My Heart in Alviso

Don Edwards Wildlife Refuge, the Alviso part, is heaven for birds.  Thankfully, the fog burned off just as I got there.  Unfortunately, they forgot to unlock the gate on the last day of my visit and I didn’t have time to walk to the Alviso Slough.  Had to make do with the Alviso Marina County Park.

And perched opposite the night heron was this mystery raptor. The sun was coming up behind the birds.

I couldn't resist another sparrow picture, especially against the lines in the boardwalk, railing and grass

I primarily photograph eagles and peregrine falcons. I do include many other birds and some mammals.
