Early morning & late evening on the river at Sutter's Landing Park by Robert

Neighbors,

An early morning visit to the river on 9/6 was filled with sightings of some of the native wildlife we’ve come to be delighted to see at SLP, despite other factors that cause us concern and even despair. Moments of peace and tranquility can still be had there and as the weather cools, there should be more such times.

This Osprey was hunting on the North bank, but after patiently waiting for the fisherman to move along and for the Sea Lion to swim on, it decided to fly over and break off a big stick and release it in the water! It later made a brief return.

What flying bugs do you think are at the river in such huge numbers now? They appear to be amassing just above the surface as far as the eye can see, after sunset and of course the dragonfly’s are where the food is!
