Elkhorn Slough is the largest salt water marsh in California! Kayaking to the wildlife is not only a thrill, but it is also an opportunity to get closer to them! It also allows unique POVs.

All criticism is heartily cherished!

    Some great birds! Kayak touring seems to be the way to go there!

    Thanks Ian!! I have tried the trails and platforms, but Kayaking works. Choppy and windy today, but still awesome! If you come down to South Bay, ping me! cheers!

    Outstanding Taz. #1 and#16 really do it for me. I photo-kayaked in southern Florida 20 years ago (think it was at Ding Darling) awesome experience.

    Wow Taz, you continue to amaze me. This is a wonderful series. Favorites of mine are #5 - fish in mouth outstanding, #7 - take off, #11 - cute. Also, #15 - didn't his mother ever tell him not to eat with his mouth open? And #17 - how sweet is that? Looks like kayaking was a great way to capture these images.

    If you come to Bay Area, CA, John, lets try this spot! I think it will get better in a month or so!
    Can ever say enough thanks for your support!bowdown.gif
