I was at the Joaquin Sanctuary the other day for the first time...it won't be the last. Lots of the smaller birdies of which I have to learn names, etc., but I only got to the path *above* the water. Seems I have to go farther...had a fun time still figgering the Z9 out, lol. Nice set, Jak, hope to run into you one day!


Thanks for the kind words, chasgroh. San Joaquin Marsh is a treasure…constantly changing across the seasons. Look forward to your next visit. All of my photos were taken around one pond, Pond 1. There are so many opportunities that you can enjoy. Take care and enjoy your week. jak

Not only are the birds nicely photographed, the compositions of your images are very, very nice.


Thank you AzPicLady. I have to admit that all my photos are cropped…sometimes quite a bit. I’m glad that hasn’t spoiled the compositions for you. Have a great week. jak

Another excellent series, jak...you did catch a good variety on this outing!!


Thanks, jederick. These photos were all taken around one of the marshes 11 ponds…the biggest and most accessible, but there were many more I never got to. In any event, thanks again and have a great week. jak

Friday morning we did our monthly survey of avian life at the San Joaquin Marsh in Irvine, CA. The day started overcast with a mist above the marsh. It heated to a nice 70-75 degrees before we were through with our assigned pond (Pond 1). Most ducks have migrated North, and the water level was high, discouraging wading birds from landing here. Lots of flying insects invited swallows to zip across the pond, and a number of species appeared to be nesting among the grasses on the island. I did manage to snap off a few decent photos with my Nikon D500, using a Nikkor 200-500mm telezoom. Here are a few you might enjoy. I just didn't seem to have the feel to catch more nicely focused pics this time, but I think these are OK.
