Palo Alto area - Baylands/Sloughs?

[Garry Coldwells]

Hi,

I will be in the area next week and am interested in what areas are worth visiting right now?

Previously I have always spent time at in Palo Alto and Sunnyvale at Baylands. I am interested in shooting hummingbirds, waterfowl and raptors.

Regards,

Garry

Take a look at Coyote hills. It has everything you listed. The butterfly garden has humming birds and butterfly's of course. If you want to check out the garden, better call ahead. It's sometimes closed.

Next Door is Don Edwards. I got a fly by shot of a Golden Eagle last week. http://www.fws.gov/desfbay/

The duck pond at the Palo Alto Baylands is good right now for hummingbirds.
Here's one from a shrub at the picnic area, behind the Ranger's station near
the duck pond:

Peter,

Hey, I know that shrub and that hummingbird :)

I saw them working that area but did not manage as good of an image as yours.

Cheers
