Regal Bird At The National Wildlife Refuge: Photo Of The Week

ALVISO, CA — This stunning photo of a shore bird was snapped by Laura Ragsdale at Don Edwards San Francisco Bay National Wildlife Refuge in Alviso. If a Patch reader can identify this bird, please tell us in comment section below this story.

The refuge has visitor centers in both Alviso and Fremont, and miles of trails and boardwalks. The visitor centers are closed and programs have been canceled for now because of shelter in place orders in Santa Clara and Alameda counties.

Thank you, Laura, for sharing your photo.

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.
