A pair of pintail ducks standing in wetlands along the Lost Slough Wetlands Walk at the Cosumnes River Preserve near Galt, California. Pintails are distinguished from other ducks by their very pointy tail feathers. The female has a gray bill, while the male has a blue-gray bill and a brown head with a white stripe running along the back of the neck.
We were visiting the Cosumnes River Preserve hoping to get a close look at the sandhill cranes that winter in the Sacramento Valley, but were certainly willing to photograph any other waterfowl or wading birds that inhabited the wetlands along with them. Unfortunately, we only saw four cranes flying way overhead heading somewhere other than the wetlands we were visiting. It was a good visit nevertheless thanks to the abundant birdlife flitting about.

Remember, it's not just a picture, it's a story.
