Sao Jacinto October 31 - November 2, 2012




One of at least five Pintails present during our visit.


Adult female Goshawk came for a drink in the early evening.

Adult male Goshawk trying to catch a Green-winged Teal earlier during the day.

For some reason I see two rows of teeth on the Wigeon's left side



For some reason this Green-winged Teal VYV reminded me of the Young Ones, the British sitcom.
