ALAMEDA, CA — Over the past few weeks Patch has featured photos of Bald Eagles that are nesting at the golf course. Now, Jerry Yarbrough has emailed photo, saying, "This beautiful and rare Eurasian wigeon has been visiting Crab Cove the last few days."

It is truly beautiful! Thank you for sharing the photo, Jerry.

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.
