Don Edwards San Francisco Bay National Wildlife Refuge

A Quiet Afternoon


I have yet to find anything all that interesting about Don Edwards National Wildlife Refuge.  It's a large refuge, covering most of the Southeast portion of the bay.  I'm sure there are undiscovered treasures there, I just need to keep looking.  Still, it made for a quiet afternoon in the sun and cool Autumn air.

Eared and horned grebes were plentiful, as were northern shovelers.  I even saw a few buffleheads, the first of the season for me.  Of course, these will all be common in the upcoming months.
