Thousands of Ross’s Geese at the Merced National Wildlife Refuge.
Duck, Duck, Geese
At the Merced National Wildlife Refuge amongst thousands of Ross’s Geese that winter here were these Northern Shoveler ducks splashing about.
Cliff Swallows
Driving along highway 88 in California, I noticed a large flock of birds darting in and out of a large conglomerate of rock along the Carson river. I pulled over and scrambled down to the river’s edge. From a distance it doesn’t look like much but zoomed in I was able to get a photo of the numerous nests of Cliff Swallows built into the rock wall. 
Shrouded Horsetail Falls – 2013
In the month of February the setting sun hits the granite face of the ephemeral Horsetail Falls in Yosemite and it creates what people call a ‘firefall’. Alas, last season was a low water year and clouds shrouded much of the mountain as the sun set. I’ll be heading out to Yosemite in a few weeks and hopefully the conditions will be right. But the photo above was still intriguing.
Here is Yosemite’s Horsetail Falls on a good water year in 2011
Snow Day
It’s early in February in California and last weekend we finally had some weather. I had the opportunity to host some kids from the YMCA of San Francisco in South Lake Tahoe. For many of the them it was there 1st time seeing snow and playing in it. Thanks in partnership with the BAWT and SOS Outreach Lake Tahoe these kids had a great snow day!
