Subject: [Leica] IMG: Cattle Egret, White-tailed Kite

On Monday I visited the Yolo Bypass wildlife area between Sacramento and 
Davis where agricultural fields are being flooded for water bird habitat.  
The flooding sends dry-land critters such as grasshoppers and small rodents 
scampering to higher ground and predators such as egrets and raptors see 
this as a feast.
