San Joaquin River National Wildlife Refuge - Vernalis, CA

On 3 February 2024, my parents and I took a trip to San Joaquin River National Wildlife Refuge in Vernalis, CA. I took a couple photos with my Canon DSLR. I hope you enjoy viewing the photos.

I struggled quite a bit that day with wildlife photos. Not only have I not done wildlife photos for many years now (since the vision loss), I think I might be due for another treatment session. I haven't done another session of the experimental treatment for Visual Snow Syndrome since I caught COVID as I'm still feeling somewhat shitty from long COVID. My vision was pretty crappy that day, and my response times were super slow. The other reason for the lack of photos was due to the lack of wildlife sightings. I'm not sure if it was just because I had trouble seeing them, or all of them were hiding from the recent rainstorms, but I was able to hear them.
