O'Neill Regional Park
We decided that no #Mountain_Lion was going to keep us from our trek in this beautiful area. But, when fellow trekkers warned us of a #Rattle_Snake sunning himself on the path, we took notice. #O'Neill_Regional_Park, #SCPCphotos, #Nikon, #D810, #withmytamron, #Irvine, #CA, #Birds, #Wildlife, #Water_District
Penny studies the map. It was no help because we still went the “wrong” way. #O'Neill_Regional_Park, #SCPCphotos, #Nikon, #D810, #withmytamron, #Irvine, #CA, #Birds, #Wildlife, #Water_District
Nope, no bird or other animal. Just an eye-catching dead tree. #O'Neill_Regional_Park, #SCPCphotos, #Nikon, #D810, #withmytamron, #Irvine, #CA, #Birds, #Wildlife, #Water_District
We met friendly people on our trek and some beautiful animals as well. These #horses were very well behaved and didn’t ask for a photo release form. #O'Neill_Regional_Park, #SCPCphotos, #Nikon, #D810, #withmytamron, #Irvine, #CA, #Birds, #Wildlife, #Water_District
An #Acorn_Woodpecker stops to check in with the Mrs. It’s a good thing too because she needed to go shopping. #O'Neill_Regional_Park, #SCPCphotos, #Nikon, #D810, #withmytamron, #Irvine, #CA, #Birds, #Wildlife, #Water_District
And, off she goes! #O'Neill_Regional_Park, #SCPCphotos, #Nikon, #D810, #withmytamron, #Irvine, #CA, #Birds, #Wildlife, #Water_District
Do you suppose they used a two-inch whole bit and saw? That looks like a perfectly round doorway! #O'Neill_Regional_Park, #SCPCphotos, #Nikon, #D810, #withmytamron, #Irvine, #CA, #Birds, #Wildlife, #Water_District
These guys look like they will be friends forever: a #California_Ground_Squirrel and a #Eastern_Bluebird. #O'Neill_Regional_Park, #SCPCphotos, #Nikon, #D810, #withmytamron, #Irvine, #CA, #Birds, #Wildlife, #Water_District
An #Eastern_Bluebird. #O'Neill_Regional_Park, #SCPCphotos, #Nikon, #D810, #withmytamron, #Irvine, #CA, #Birds, #Wildlife, #Water_District
A #California_Ground_Squirrel found a tasty morsel to snack on. #San_Juaqin_Marsh, #O'Neill_Regional_Park, #D810, #withmytamron, #Irvine, #CA, #Birds, #Wildlife, #Water_District
