the story...
What prompted us to go to the Yolo Bypass Wetlands Preserve was a recent article in the paper suggesting that the Sandhill Cranes are here early in the Sacramento region for their migration. The article pointed out that it's best to view them in the southern part of Sacramento County. The Yolo Wetlands seemed more attractive since it was much closer and might have some sandhill cranes.
Well we were not disappointed for the lack of those cranes since we witnessed what seemed to be 10,000 birds take off at once without warning at sunrise. Quickly I set down the camera with a telephoto lens and got the 18mm canon in action to catch these birds just seconds after their group departure. This is amazing to witness due to the magnitude of birds. I hope you enjoy this snapshot of our experience in the beautiful Yolo wetlands preserve.
