Delta Byways, Foothills and Gold Country



This little marsh wren (photo by Laura) was singing his heart out at our first stop along the delta waterways.   Waterfowl swam in the Delta waters, with Mt Diablo in the background.


This blog update will be postppned until later this week as the wifi here in Stockton is abysmal at this park.  Laura has wonderful photos I want to share, but I will wait and edit this. 

On Saturday, Laura joined Liz and I for two days of sightseeing.  On Day 1 we headedalong the delta backroads and complex waterways iof the islands eastb of Rio Vista.





At Indian Grinding Rock Historical State Park, this little gopher was busily pushing freshly dog soil up and out of his/her den (photo courtesy of Laura Warner).   The deep holes in the native rock have been dug over the eons, forming the largest community grinding rock in North America. 

More Wildlife photos from Laura for that day:
