Typically, they’re here during low tide, along with the sandpipers. I love their focus and intensity.

Many people are surprised to learn that Bodega Bay is one of the best birding spots in all of Sonoma County. Here’s the Madrone Audobon Society’s overview, by season, of Birding in Bodega Bay.

I’ve also posted additional photos of heron fishing in front of the house in our Facebook Photo Album on Wildlife in Bodega Bay. Enjoy!

I put together a collage of photos that I took and made a video to show you some of my best shots. I love watching them, they’re “dunkers” not divers like the brown pelicans. They glide swiftly across the water, and travel in large flocks, though they separate out to feed in smaller groups of 2-3. Anyway, enjoy the pictures and come see them for yourself!

They usually swim in large groups in front of “At the Bay’s Edge” at low tide….they’re dunkers as opposed to divers like the brown pelicans. They’re also much bigger than the brown pelicans….takes them a bit longer to get airborne as well!
