Now, after some days writing about them, here you have the pictures of the sanctuary!! Being there was an spectacular experience, hopefully we'll be able to come back later this year to enjoy even more with some new species!!
Ahora, luego de varios dias despues de estar escribiendo sobre ellas, aqui tienen las fotos del santuario!!
El estar alli fue una experiencia espectacular, esperamos poder regresar mas tarde este ano para disfrutar aun mas con algunas nuevas especies!!
Just arriving, even before entering the park, parents and babies like this gosling, were waiting for us!!
Acabando de llegar, aun antes de entrar al parque, padres y bebes como este gansito, estaban esperandonos!!
Welcome, welcome, what a warm welcoming from these goslings!!!
Bienvenidos, bienvenidos, que calurosa bienvenida por parte de estos gansitos!!
Year after year, geese come back to the same point were they were born, using the same migratory route ... that they learn from their parents!! Hopefully these three will be there next year!!
Ano tras ano, los gansos regresan al mismo lugar donde nacieron, usando la misma ruta migratoria .... que aprenden de sus padres!! Esperemos que estos tres esten alli el proximo ano!!
But here, with a nice weather and plenty of food, most of them stay, they don't need to migrate!!
Pero aqui, con buen clima y mucha comida, la mayoria se queda, no necesitan migrar!!
''What are you doing? Come here with me!!'' ''Que estan haciendo? Vengan aqui conmigo''
A young goose, cute but not very pretty!! Un ganso joven, adorable pero no muy hermoso!!
Geese normally have 5 goslings, this group must have some ''cousins''!!
Los gansos normalmente tienen 5 gansitos, este grupo debe tener algunos ''primos''!!
''Here is the other adult, now we can go!!'' (Picture below)
''Ya esta aqui el otro adulto, ya podemos seguir!!'' (Foto de abajo)
Marsh wren, a beautiful and colorful one!!
Un reyezuelo de la marisma, hermoso y colorido!!
And they know very well when somebody enters the park with food (seeds)!! Y saben muy bien cuando alguien entra al parque con comida (semillas)!!
John feeding geese and cranes at the entry of the park!! John alimentando gansos y una especie de grulla en la entrada al parque!!
Second time in John's life that he can enjoy observing a crane close by!! First time for me!
Segunda vez en su vida que John puede disfrutar observando esta clase de grulla de cerca!! Primera vez para mi!
I'm sure they enjoy being here, with most of the visitors feeding them!!
Estoy segura que disfrutan el estar aqui, con la mayoria de visitantes alimentandoles!!
''What a great sensation!!'' ''Que sensacion tan grandiosa!!''
''And now I feel good and pretty again!!'' ''Y ahora me siento bien y hermosa(o) de nuevo!!''
''Let's go, more visitors are waiting to feed us!'' ''Vamos, mas visitantes estan esperando para alimentarnos!''
And John and I continued our visit, to discover more families, like this mama duck and her ducklings!!
Y John y yo continuamos nuestra visita, para descubrir mas familias, como esta mama pata y sus paticos!!
Aren't they cute? for sure they inspire beautiful feelings in me!!
No son preciosos? A mi seguro me inspiran sentimientos hermosos!!
How not to feel ''touched'' by these little ducklings? Como no sentirse ''emocionado'' con estos pequenos paticos?
And after a lot of insisting, John accepted to feed them from his hand!!
Y luego de mucha insistencia, John acepto alimentarlos de su mano!!
View from a tower, and this is just a little part of the sanctuary!! Vista desde una torre, y esta es solo una pequena parte del santuario!!
And meanwhile I was enjoying taking pictures from the tower, John was enjoying resting for a little while!!
Y mientras yo disfrutaba tomando fotos desde la torre, John disfrutaba descansando por un rato!!
Another view from the tower. The ''space'' between the last darker line and the mountains is the ocean!!
Otra vista desde la torre. El ''espacio'' entre la linea mas oscura y las montanas es el mar!!
Going down and both of us happy, John resting and me enjoying taking pictures from the tower!!
Bajando y ambos felices, John descansando y yo disfrutando tomando fotos desde la torre!!
Do you remember the red-winged blackbird from the other place we went some weeks ago?, here is another one!! Se acuerdan del pajaro con alas rojas que vimos en otro parque hace unas semanas?, aqui tienen otro!!
Lovely ''green tunnel.'' Encantador ''tunel verde.''
In another resting area, enjoying the view and eating some snacks!!
En otra area de descanso, disfrutando de la vista y comiendo algo!!
And now my turn!! Y ahora mi turno!!
I'm pretty sure the birds cannot avoid feeling attracted by these provocative little fruits!!
Estoy segura que los pajaros no pueden evitar sentirse atraidos por estas provocativas y pequenas frutas!!
And of course, insects as this caterpillar as well!! And this one is one of my favorites from that day!!
Y por supuesto, insectos como este cienpies tambien!! Y esta foto es una de mis favoritas de este dia!!
Male Swallow. More ''picturesque'' than the females.
Gorrion macho. Mas ''pintoresco'' que las hembras.
Such a peaceful and beautiful male Mallard!! Tan pacifico y hermoso pato Mallard (macho).
Females Mallards. Do you wanna go and swim with them? I do!! Hembras Mallard. Quieren ir a nadar con ellas? Yo si!!
Little and noisy woodpecker!! Pequeno y ruidoso pajaro carpintero!!
One of the channels of the sanctuary. The closest long log had 5 ducks on top before I took this picture!!
Uno de los canales del santuario. El tronco largo mas cercano tenia 5 patos encima antes de yo tomar esta foto!!
John feeding birds again!! John de nuevo dandoles de comer a algunas aves!!
Another Mallard. A lot of them in this park!! Otro pato Mallard. Muchos en este santuario!!
And another female, coming probably for food!! Y otra pata, acercandose probablemente buscando comida!!
''Where are you going? Come, come here and feed us!!'' ''Donde van? Vengan, vengan a alimentarnos!!''
Tree Swallow, another one to enjoy!! Gorrion de arbol, otro para disfrutar!!
''Mommy, mommy, some humans are coming!!'' ''Mami, mami, vienen unos humanos!!''
''Don't worry, mommy is here to protect you!!'' ''No se preocupen, mami esta aqui para protegerlos!!''
A female Swallow. And even is very common, what a graceful one!! Una gorrion hembra. Y aunque bastante comun, que hermosa es!!
Cranes. Found on all continents but Antarctica and South America!!
Una especia de garzas. Se encuentran en todos los continentes excepto Antartica y Sur America!!
Cranes are the tallest flying birds in the world!! Should be a total show to see them flying!!
Son los pajaros voladores mas altos en todo el mundo!! Debe ser todo un show verles volando!!
Love this picture!!!! And I was reading that the red in the head aren't feathers, is skin!!!! (And yes, I went to look the magnified picture!!)
Adoro esta foto!! Y estaba leyendo que el rojo en su cabeza no son plumas, es piel!!!! (Y si, fui a mirar la foto aumentada!!)
Another of my favorites!! Took it with the new camara. John saw the bee, I just saw a ''black dot'' but took the picture with zoom and once downloaded to my laptop, the bee is very clear!!
Otra de mis favoritas!! La tome con mi nueva camara. John vio la abispa, yo solo vi un ''punto negro'' pero tome la foto con aumento y una vez la baje a mi laptop, la abeja se ve bien clara!!
''OK children, wait there that mommy will go and look what they want''
''OK ninos, esperen aqui que mama ira a ver que quieren''
I just want a picture like this one, with the ducklings!! Yo solo quiero una foto como esta, con los paticos!!
''Don't worry mom, she just took a picture of us!!'' ''No te preocupes mama, ella solo tomo una foto de nosotros!!''
And anyway, seems that ''dad'' is close by too!! Y de todas formas, parece que ''papa'' esta cerca tambien!!
Sometime ago we saw one in Bear Creek Park, and here again, a beautiful wood duck!!
Hace algun tiempo vimos uno en el Parque Quebrada del oso, y aqui de nuevo, un hermoso pato madera!!
Just perfect!! And the reflection in the water is great!! Perfecto!! Y el reflejo en el agua es grandioso!!
''Don't worry my dears, they are just observing us through the bush!!'' ''No se preocupen mis queridos, ellos simplemente nos estan observando a traves del arbusto!!''
Just enjoying some sunshine!! Simplemente disfrutando de algo de sol!!
Do you know that their feathers are impermeable? Saben que sus plumas son impermeables?
And almost ready to leave, this gosling is there to tell us: ''Goodbye, hope to see you again soon!!''
Y casi listos para partir, este gansito esta ahi para decirnos: ''Hasta pronto, espero verlos pronto de nuevo!!''
But hopefully in an older ''stage'' than these ones, cute as I mentioned before, but in one of their ''not so pretty'' stages!! Pero ojala de mas ''edad'' que estos, adorables como mencione antes, pero en una de las ''no muy hermosos'' etapas!!
The one in front: ''Let's go to say goodbye, they are leaving!!''
The other two: ''Wait, we are accommodating some feathers!!''
La del frente: ''Vamos a decirles hasta pronto, ya se van!!''
Las otras dos: ''Espera, estamos acomodandonos algunas plumas!!''
And here I end this posting, hoping you enjoyed these pictures as much as I enjoyed being there and taking them!!
Y aqui termino esta tanda, espero hayan disfrutado las fotos tanto como yo disfrute estando alli y tomandolas!!
