Dickie and I traveled to Petaluma on the past Wednesday to visit Shollenberger Park, one of our favorite birding spots. While we were there, we learned of an adjacent area that is also stocked with plenty of wildlife. We found this mommy shepherding her ducklings:
In fact, there were nine ducklings in all in this particular family. I managed to get eight of them together for this shot:
There were also a number of mute swans nesting in the ponds there. This one kept him/herself busy chasing away the Canadian geese that got too close to its territory. Would you want to meet this bird in a dark alley?:
I got this goose as he/she flew away:
There were dozens of geese in and around the ponds. Occasionally, a couple would fly up together. That's how I got this shot:
So much for now! Have a great month of May! See you later!
