Oregon Road Trip – Day 1 – SF to Ashland, OR »

Birding at Radio Road (Redwood City, CA)

6 August, 2007 by Adam R. Paul

I meant to post this before heading to Oregon for 10 days, but so it goes. I briefly swung by the Radio Road ponds in Redwood Shores on the way home from work on 19 July, and was glad I did.

Dowitcher

Dowitcher sp.

Many avocet chicks were on the sandbars and next to the road – they’re awfully cute!

    Hope your trip went well Adam, great pics, the Avocet chick is amazing. Did you get any nice images from your trip?

    Nice shots Adam. You’ve made me fall in love with Avocets! That’s a classic photo of the Song Sparrow! Exceptional!

    Thanks, Bernie, Montucky & Ankush!

    Bernie: Yep, I took some pretty good photos. Of course, many/most are of the travel snapshot variety, but that’s fine by me. I’ll post them as I process the photos from each day, which may take a while – I took nearly 700 pictures, and since I shoot in RAW, all of the keepers require at least a few minutes of work.

    I love the depth of field and the repetition on the Ducklings shot. I generally love all your bird photos…
