February 20 2010 - San Pedro Ponds


Only had a short window of opportunity today to walk and shoot, so we walked to the nearby San Pedro Ponds. The water level was very low even though we have had a lot of rain - we aren't too sure about what gives with that.

Today we saw quite a few mockingbirds at the ponds , along with the usual geese and coots. No larks and nearly no sparrows, but it was early and still very foggy.

Most interesting find was a male and two female plumage hooded mergansers. I have yet to get a really good shot of these birds. They are fairly shy, and again the light was poor because of the fog.
