Prado Regional Park White Wagtail

We went to Prado Regional Park in hopes of finding the White Wagtail that was reported on the "spillway." It took a while to find the spillway, but once we did, it was easy to find the Wagtail. Here's a map that shows where the spillway is:

Once there, we saw many other birds. It was a nice day for a walk. We are glad we are no longer on the east coast.

Back to Prado

We always post pictures of vermilon flycatchers when we go to Prado.

I'll start with the green heron instead



But the vermilion flycatcher was there, and it's hard not to photograph.

Back to Riverwalk and La Sierra

Juvenile Night Heron


Green Heron


Cedar Waxwings

We've been going for more walks recently, and we hadn't been to Riverwalk in a while. So we decided to park near the Hampton Inn and walk up to La Sierra University. Along the way, we spotted a green heron and a juvenile night heron. At the University, the best find was a flock of waxwings coming to a water feature.

Riverwalk Herons and Egrets

Snowy Egret

The weather was perfect this morning so Mike brought his camera along on our walk. We saw a few herons and an egret mixed in with the mallards that reside in the Riverwalk area of Riverside.
