[Leica] IMG: Cattle Egret, White-tailed Kite

[Doug Herr]

On Monday I visited the Yolo Bypass wildlife area between Sacramento and Davis where agricultural fields are being flooded for water bird habitat.  The flooding sends dry-land critters such as grasshoppers and small rodents scampering to higher ground and predators such as egrets and raptors see this as a feast.
