Stevens Creek at Shoreline

On Saturday D. and I took a little walk along the Stevens Creek Trail at Shoreline Park here in town.  This little walk exhausted me, but I did take some pics before I had to turn around and come home.

Stevens Creek.



Flowers at the trailhead.







A great egret flies overhead.



Pretty yellow fleurs.



The view of the mountains across the bay, and the salt pond next to the trail.





Another look at Stevens Creek, and a ruddy duck in the creek.





Behind us, the hangars at Moffett Field.



A Forster's tern perches on a rusty pipe sticking out of a salt pond.



Another Forster's tern hovers over the pond looking for a fish to eat.



A great egret stalks the salt pond looking for lunch.



A great blue heron checks out Stevens Creek.



A while pelican finds a fish in the salt pond.  It's unusual to see one here this early in the year.



A mallard hen swims up Stevens Creek.



Power lines stride along the creek toward San Francisco Bay.
