I had the privilege of spending some time with Fred Amico, a fellow FM'er, and exploring the San Joaquin Wildlife Sanctuary together with one of his friends.

Here are some shots from the outing, I hope Fred joins in and shares some of his!

Thanks for looking,
BOB

Black Skimmer, Clark's Grebes and a Turtle I didn't see until processing











Tern fishing






Barn Swallow playing with a feather, the first time I've seen that!






Avocet in breeding colors, light was getting harsh by then

The privilege was all mine, Bob. It was great to meet you and shoot with you. Thanks for taking a lead role with us and showing us some good places to shoot.

I will add some pictures to this thread later, but won't be adding any good BIF shots - I think I got only one decent image. Love that you got the swallow playing with a feather. Like you, never saw that before.

Thanks Bob! I can only do weekends. Will PM you if I can make this Saturday or Sunday. Do you know and have you met Thao Nguyen before, as she goes there sometimes?

Bobby, I went to Pt. fermin about 10 days ago, it's a fun place! I posted shots here on FM.

Unfortunately, weekends are reserved for my wife, we may go to SJWS but it's her time with me. Maybe some other time!

I haven't met Thao, but may have seen her there.
Thanks,
Bob

Oh yeah, I remember seeing your images now. I will probably go to Mt Fermin then, as it's closer to my place. Hope the falcons are still there.

As you know, Bob did, but I haven't. PM me if you are going there and want company.

Thanks much, Bob. Even though the birds were sparse, it was fun. Thanks again for your guidance this morning!

I will reach out to you Fred, if I am able to go. And yes, there isn't much activity in SJWS or Bolsa Chica for that matter. I think Pt Fermin is the best bet for now. And if you are really lucky, and you have the skills of Thao Nguyen, you might be able to capture something silmilar to what she got.
