Chickadee Building a Nest

There are times when you just get lucky a see something extraordinary and catching a chickadee hollowing out a hole in a tree was one of those times. Hope everyone enjoys this bit of good fortune. Probably should have gone out for lottery tickets. PLEASE VIEW IN WHOLE SCREEN MODE!

Snow Geese Flying off at Sacramento NWR 1/3/12

Sacramento National Wildlife Refuge has thousands upon thousands of snow geese that migrate there for the winter. These birds fly thousands of miles for the rice buffet served up by the farms in the area. Each morning the geese fly out to the eating areas and if they are fortunate enough to avoid the hunters fly back in the evening. This is a movie of the geese flying out. Please excuse the focus. This is one exciting event to watch and it is easy to become awe stricken and forget camera basics.
