India Basin
Pics from a visit to India Basin last week.
Derrick barge D.B. Alameda, on site at the shoreline park next door to drive piles for a future pier.
A flock of cormorants passes overhead.
A red-tailed hawk perches on a streetlight.
Tanker ships Seaways Yellowstone and Ainfanourios ride at anchor in the bay.
The sky overhead, filled with wispy clouds.
A ruddy duck pauses in between dives to hunt for aquatic insects, crustaceans, zooplankton, and other invertebrates that live in the mud.
Stuff on the beach: plastic trash.
Stuff on the beach: bird tracks.
Stuff on the beach: a stake marking the construction barge anchor.
Gumplant is one of the few things still in bloom.
A raven surveys the scene from a branch.
Echoes of autumn still cling to cottonwood trees.
