New camera; photos - The Lost Sierra Forrest

I got a new camera, similar to the one I’ve had for a couple of years, but now with longer zoom. Here are some photos since Oct. 31.

After the fog burned off; the wastewater plant treatment pond. Earlier it was well populated with birds such as Bufflehead, Mallard, Ring-necked Duck, and American Wigeon, but just my standing there with my camera on the tripod caused them to take flight.
