Birds are fun to photograph. I dont really go looking for them, but whenever I come across some (and I have the camera) it is always a thrill. These were encountered at Twin Rocks over the weekend.

These photos were all taken on our camping trip last weekend at Pelton Park on Lake Simtustus! Among the birds we saw (that I could identify) were: Bald Eagle, Osprey, Vulture, Great Blue Heron, Dove, Quail, and several others!
Intent on catching a few minutes of sun on my lunch break today, I decided to see if there were any new birds at my favorite spot, not too far from where I work.
When I first arrived there were none, but I sat down on the grass anyway, and waited. After a few minutes my patience was rewarded —a Red-winged Blackbird flew in!
According to bird web sites, the Red-winged Blackbird is one of the most abundant birds across North America, and one of the most boldly colored.
After snapping a few pics, the Killdeer showed up!
A moment later, a Snipe flew out of his hiding place among the water plants! He had been there all along. (Probably watching me the whole time!)
