Sunday, April 26th, 2026 at 10:43:10 PM · 2026/Yolo Bypass Wetlands
This wildlife photograph captures a solitary wading bird, likely a curlew or similar shorebird, foraging in the shallow margins of a wetland habitat. The bird stands on muddy ground between a flooded rice field in the foreground, marked by cut stubble, and vibrant green grass in the background. The scene represents typical spring wetland habitat in California's agricultural floodplain systems, where managed flooding creates important feeding grounds for migratory and resident birds. The natural lighting and seasonal greenery suggest late spring conditions.
