Photos | Graceful Waders of San Pablo Bay

Two elegant birds wade through the shallow waters of San Pablo Bay, their slim beaks poised for a catch.
Full Description:
Captured on a serene afternoon in April 2025, this photograph showcases two striking birds delicately navigating the coastal waters of San Pablo Bay National Wildlife Refuge in Vallejo, California. Taken with a Canon R7, the image highlights the birds’ long legs and slender beaks, traits typical of waterfowl. While the identity of these birds leans towards a type of stork, their grace and poise add a dynamic allure to the composition, enhanced by the subtle ripples in the water around them. The scene underscores the beauty of nature and the diversity of avian life thriving in this protected habitat.
