Lovely action pose on this one, daintily picking his way across the marsh. I must have passed the Lucas Valley turnoff hundreds of times over the years, but never turned out to see what's there. Always on my way elsewhere north or south of there - Sonoma to Berkeley, Hayward to Sonoma ... I see I'll have to go exploring Marin next visit |=)|
