Reddish Egret
Just returned home to San Diego from a 3 week trip to NY (I saw some great new birds), and went to San Diego River mud flats at Robb Field at sunrise. The golden hour light was fantastic, and it was great to see many of our local Southern California birds again. This was also an outing to test my new Nikon Z8 camera and it didn’t disappoint.
