@Ottermarie I was there today. Lots of wildflowers but absolutely no herons at the settling ponds. Very strange.

@SteveInVentura wow. That's odd not to see herons. I need to swing by to see the flowers. Thank you!

@Ottermarie Some of the photos I took yesterday at the settling ponds. @ai6yr @Catlynn

@SteveInVentura @Ottermarie @Catlynn Quack!

@ai6yr @Ottermarie @Catlynn Here’s another duck photo. They were surprisingly camera shy. I was surprised by the limited depth of focus on the wildflower shots, but it was very overcast and I don’t normally take landscape photos, especially with a zoom lens that starts at 200mm. Need to take my old Nikon Coolpix or get another lens.

@ai6yr @Ottermarie @Catlynn A snowy egret (with dark beak & yellow feet) from yesterday as opposed the great egrets (with yellow beak & dark feet) that I normally find. It took me a while to figure out why it looked strange to me, I thought it was just that the angle of the shot was a bit different.
