I got to see the coyotes today. They were very far away, but my friends pointed out this family of three hunting. I think they ended up catching a large rabbit. They're pretty small in the pictures, but you may be able to make them out.
In the first picture, there are actually two, but one is very hidden:
There's two in this next photo, too, one in the middle, one off to the upper left:
There are usually only two California thrashers at the lake, but today there were at least a dozen. These two, on the fence, were chasing each other:
This one didn't care about what the other two were doing. Also in the area was a very loud Costa's hummingbird:
It poured down rain a couple days ago. It rained so hard that I don't think even the ducks liked it. Here is Miss Angel and Mr. Squeaky trying to get out of the rain:
Pouring down rain in this photo. The coots are beginning to arrive. The ruddy ducks are already at the lake as are some teal and eared grebes:
The female goose has a companion. Someone dumped that male that's in the background of this next photo. I'm betting they were from the same owner as they've been best friends since day one.
