Another Friday and another research photography trip. This time I met with Alex Rinkert a recent graduate of San Lorenzo Valley High School who has been conducing this study of the birds in the sand hills near Henry Cowell Redwoods State Park for almost a year now.

Here’s the best of the shoot and look in the coming days for the rest of the photos as well as an article from Cathy Kelly.
