Playing with the 20D - Palo Alto Duck Pond

Hidden away along the shores of the SF Bay is the Palo Alto Duck Pond, which also serves as a bird sanctuary. The strange thing is that the Palo Alto Municipal airport is just a few hundred yards away.. I guess just a natural hazard the pilots have to account for? Got to shoot some action shots with the 20D and it continues to impress me.




Not sure if the white bird in the picture is a crane or egret, but it is some water bird. There also seemed to be a large contigent of geese at the pond as well.
