Belted Kingfisher On Bay Farm Island: Alameda Photos Of The Day

Did you spot this visitor?

ALAMEDA, CA — If you enjoy birding in Alameda, you will likely be delighted by Joel Bernstein's photos. He told Patch in an email, "I took these photos of a Belted Kingfisher in the Bay Farm lagoons during a rare lull in our recent deluge. I feel that the bird may have been pushed here by the storm activity."

Thank you for sharing, Joel!

If you have an awesome photo of nature, breath-taking scenery, kids caught being kids, a pet doing something funny, or something unusual you happen to catch with your camera, we'd love to feature it on Patch.

We're looking for high-resolution images that reflect the beauty and fun that is Northern California, and that show off your unique talents.
