Moon over Palo Alto

Yesterday morning, my friend Enrique and myself went down to Palo Alto Baylands with the intention of shooting shorebirds at sunrise. We left San Francisco at 5:10am as sunrise was at 5:48am. Leaving SF, it was already 71F as the Bay area was experiencing a heat wave. On arrival, both of us noticed the moon in the sky as we were getting our gear out of the car. It was too nice to pass by so we started shooting. After a few minutes, the crimson light was gone and the sun started to peak over the East Bay hills so we picked up our gear and headed off to photograph the birds. Compared to previous years, the bird photography at the Baylands this year has not been so good. The Palm trees where the Great and Snowy Egrets nest are not in good condition and the whole place seems more subdued. This is probably due to the low rainfall we’ve experienced this winter.
