CALIFORNIA WILDLIFE AUGUST 2026

Hope all is well, updating wildlife photographs taken in our Bay Area. Some of these are more recent viewing of the white-tailed kites in Eastern Cc County, others from the Alameda foothills and San Joaquin Delta. Additional information in the text below the photos. I have been fortunate enough to view local white tail kites for over twenty years. The cover photograph was taken in June of 2021, and is the only older photograph in this group. Thanks for the interest!
