PETALUMA, CA — Lisa Restrepo sent in this photo captured by her husband, Winston Restrepo.

Winston used his Sony A7R4 camera for the picture of a bird enjoying water from a drippy faucet on the couple's property in Petaluma, Lisa wrote in an email to Patch.

Thank you so much for sharing with Patch readers, Lisa and Winston!
