There's a small trail that goes around a reed filled pond surrounded by trees. It's managed by the naval base here. Lahontan Audubon describes it as "This short trail contains ponds, agricultural fields and riparian habitat yielding songbirds in summer and sparrows in winter; White-faced Ibis, gulls and other waterfowl may be present when fields are being irrigated."

Today's slow wander was just to enjoy a beautiful spring day. As I was leaving, I saw a bird land in a nearby tree. Through the camera, realized it was a male American Kestrel. Watched him until he flew off to a high perch to look for his next catch. It wasn't until I got home that I saw what I had taken.
