A nice subject and appropriate for San Francisco. They’re everywhere but how often do we take notice and document them.

Thanks so much, Tim. It’s true, they are constantly flying by and I wonder how many notice them? And where are they going? 🙂 I am mesmerized and love to photograph them. Glad you enjoyed this set. 🙂

Hi Sarah, Happy the monochromes stood out for you– they are faves — I think the black and white lends well to moody, foggy mornings. Thank you very much! 🙂

A lovely set, Jane. I like Birds and Bridge for it’s ethereal feel. If you ever have a chance, visit Baylands Nature Preserve, with access points in Palo Alto and Mountain View, for wonderful birds in action opportunities. Probably my favorite local spot!

So glad you enjoyed these, Susan. I am mesmerized by the constant flocks of birds flying over the bay. Thanks so much and also for the tip about Baylands!

Love that last quote, Jane, and the first shot is my favorite for its simplicity and the feeling of quiet that it engenders.

Apropos your opening quotation, I recently read about a study. “The study which was just published in the international journal Animal Behaviour, showed that small-bodied animals with fast metabolic rates, such as some birds, perceive more information in a unit of time, hence experiencing time more slowly than large bodied animals with slow metabolic rates, such as large turtles.”
