Rush Creek Open Space Preserve is an easy access open space park in Novato California. It has a beautiful tidal inlet with a large amount of sea birds and wildflowers. #Hiking #OpenSpace #California #MarshLands #BirdWatching #Water #Blue
Deer Island Open Space Preserve in Novato, Ca is a small park with a 2 mike loop running through around the perimeter. Full of wildlife and great scenery. #Hiking #Green #OpenSpace #Marin #California #Outdoors
Every year, hundreds of Great Egrets congregate in this large tree on the Bel Marin Keys public access trail. For weeks I was captured by the beauty of their flight and their incredible hunting techniques. I crouched on the rocks opposite this Great Egret for half an hour, trying to get this action shot. Well worth it if I do say so myself, I hope you all agree
