Photo Gallery >> Herons & Egrets

We hope you will enjoy these photographs of the land, birds, and wildlife in the Coyote Hills area. Because these creatures cannot cry for help, they depend on each one of us to be their protectors and good stewards of the land. [click on any link for more photos]

Where have all our birds gone to?

Great Blue Heron

Green Heron

This juvenile Black-Crowned Night Heron was playing around while an adult slept near by.

The magnificent Great Egret is a regular to Crandall Creek and the site as a whole. All of these shots are taken on the Patterson Ranch property or directly adjacent to it.

The smaller Snowy Egret is also very commonly seen near the site.
