Someone left a painting by the side of Mt. Hamilton Rd. I’ll pick it up before the rains come if no one else claims it before then, as I’d hate to see it ruined.

Photograph of a Wilson's Snipe, a bird with a very long bill, at the edge of the water.
Stopped by the Sacramento National Wildlife Refuge on Monday and got good views of a Wilson's Snipe. This snipe hunt was successful. ;)
I'm working on seeing what other good photos I got while at the refuge.
