Greater White-fronted Goose ~ Although this goose looks similar to a lot of the domestic geese we see at local lakes, he is different, and is definitely a wild goose. This was taken at the Riverside National Cemetary, which has several small lakes, lots of grassy hillsides, and a variety of waterfowl.
Sora ~ This little rail is a secretive and shy "stealth" bird, fairly common in wetlands and marshes, but often hard to see. This was cropped a lot, so isn't as sharp as I would like, but I was thrilled to get any pictures at all. San Jacinto Wildlife Area, California.
