What a wonderful adventure! I decided to create a photo diary with my new Canon 10D on a visit to my sister, some friends, and several northern California Audubon Sanctuaries in mid-November. My northern California adventure began in the San Francisco Bay area on November 13th and ended in Stockton on November 23rd. You will find a brief account of the journey accompanied by the photographs taken at the site in the paragraph above the photos. Named bird and mammal photos are found at the end of this journal.  Or you can GO TO WILDLIFE DIARY NOW

In the Bay Area I visited the now infamous Berkeley marina, Berkeley Aquatic Park, Richmond Park, Tiburon Audubon Center, and the Marin Civic Center. My sister, Margot, being a wonderful tour guide and a top notch photographer knows so many interesting nooks and crannies throughout San Francisco Bay, I could have stayed forever, but alas on the 4th day, it was time to move on.
