Tough time for owl photography in the San Francisco Bay Area this winter, so I posted one from December 2021. Note ice crystals on and around the beautiful face of this Long-eared Owl shortly after dawn.

Sitting in the Butterfly Garden waiting for birds to come to the fountain. This vireo decides to come to the closest water feature to me. I think this was at the closest focus range I could have.

Rarely, the Sunol Regional Wilderness in SF East Bay, its elevation only several hundred feet high, but their heads were covered by snow after storm attacked for one week.

This image was taken from my backyard, the distance to the Wilderness about 45 miles (72km) far away. Thanks for your stopping-by and wishing you and your family a Happy Lunar New Year!

My wife and I took a drive on Christmas Day to a nearby city and we were fortunate to find this pair of intently focused Bald Eagles we had heard about.

Spent Christmas afternoon out photographing birds. Hope everyone spent the day doing whatever they love best with those who love you best.
