Birds in Coyote Hills Regional Park (Fremont, CA)

Coyote Hills Regional Park is a park in the East Bay Park District and is located in Fremont, CA. The park is a wonderful place for biking, walking, and wildlife photography. When I used to live back in Fremont, I went to the park a lot. The park is abundant with wildlife, especially birds. I have seen many birds there on my trips. Today I will be showing some bird photos I took in the park.

I believe this is a pair of Mallard Ducks (Anas platyrhynchos) but I can't be sure.

Arroyo Del Valle Trail Squirrels and Birds

Like I said last time, this post will be on the animals of Pleasanton Trail (or the Arroyo Del Valle Trail, but I can never remember the spelling. XD). I hope you enjoy the photos! Arroyo Del Valle Trail is located in Pleasanton, CA.

It's a boy! :P

I did not see that until I was sorting out the photos. LOL I showed it to some of my friends, half of them think its his "thing" and the other half thinks the squirrel is just doing #2. Tell me what you think in the comments!

I was actually thinking about whether or not to post this photo as some people may find this inappropriate for younger viewers, but I decided to post it anyways. I mean, it's just nature right?

If you want to see more photos like this, visit my portfolio gallery here

There are a lot of walnut trees on the trail. The squirrels eat a lot!  

This photo makes me think of Spiderman... Maybe because of how the squirrel is hanging on the tree sideways...

Black-capped Chickadee (Poecile atricapillus)
I tried to get a still image without blurring up, but this bird was just flying all over the place. LOL So there is a slight motion blur. 

I'm guessing this is a Little Blue Heron (Egretta caerulea).

I think this is a Snowy Egret (Egretta thula).

I'm guessing this is a Black Phoebe (Sayornis nigricans)

I made my best guess on the names of the birds, but I could be wrong. If you think I'm wrong, please leave me a comment below! :) Thanks for viewing!

Central Park and Del Valle Regional Park

Anyways, these photos are kind of old about a few month back. I decided to combine the two place's photos together because I didn't take many photos. I hope you enjoy viewing them! I've been busy lately, that's why I haven't been posting as often. Sorry!

这些照片是我几个月前拍的。我最近很多事所以没有写那么多文章。

Central Park is located in Fremont, CA. and Del Valle Regional Park is located in Livermore, CA. We will start off with Central Park photos first.

前面七章照片是在 Central Park 拍的。后面八章照片是在 Del Valle Regional Park 拍的。

The lighting for this photo was done with a Canon Speedlite 580EX II. I borrowed one from a friend.

Took this at sunset. This is the island at Lake Elizabeth (Central Park). Don't the birds and trees look pretty against the sunlight?

The following photos are taken at Del Valle Regional Park. 下面的照片是在 Del Valle Regional Park 拍的。

Coyote Hills and Central Park

Today I got some photos from Coyote Hills and Central Park. Both parks are located in Fremont, CA in the SF Bay Area region. I hope you enjoy viewing them! Lot's of wildlife photos and a few landscape shots.

我今天有一些在 Coyote Hills 和 Central Park 拍的照片。这两个公园都在 Fremont, CA。

I will start off with Coyote Hills photos. 前面的是 Coyote Hills 照片。

Some landscape shots at Coyote Hills. I'm surprised at how much water there was, it was a really dry season this year.

If you know what bird this is, please leave me a comment. :)

Golden-crowned Sparrow (Zonotrichia atricapilla)
The weird thing about these bird photos, I'm having a really bad auto focus problem with my Canon EOS 7D. About 70% of my photos focus was slightly off, but for some reason, these photos were really sharp. I wonder why... I'm not the only one complaining about this problem either. Seems to be common in Canon's cameras.

 This begins the Central Park photos.这下面的是 Central Park 照片。

American Coot (Fulica americana)

Mallard Ducks (Anas platyrhynchos)

Rock Pigeon (Columba livia)
A lot of rock pigeons live under the deck at Central Park.

It was really dark out, but I borrowed a 580EX II from a friend. The flash was able to light up the scene.

I hope you have enjoyed viewing the photos! See you guys next time! Don't forget to share the blog post with your friends and family members!
