I found my new favorite bird place today. This river runs through what is known as Laguna De Santa Rosa. I was absolutely floored with the various large birds I saw today.

Great Blue herons
Green Herons
Great Egrets
Snowy Egrets
Cattle Egrets
and of course so many Osprey.
Rumor has it that a pair of Bald Eagles also hunt here, but did not see any today.

There were more than a dozen Osprey within sight most of the morning. Eight were within a stones throw for more than an hour.
Here are a small sampling of the 100+ shots taken of the Osprey.

    How many photographers does it take to change a light bulb? 50. One to change the bulb, and forty-nine to say, "I could have done that better!"
