Autumn Sunrise

I drove up to Ridgefield this morning and exited east of I-5 and drove down some country lanes looking for a nice spot to capture the sunrise.

I might have enhanced these photos a bit :)

This is why I officially declare it Autumn: my first Golden-crowned Sparrow of the season.

Common Yellowthroat?


Haven't seen Pintails in a while.
