The reserve is a wetland and it is full of bird life. Visitors are kept well away so you'll want a spotting scope or good binoculars for the best viewing.
I didn't realize that I was looking at swans until I downloaded the photos. I look forward to returning and next time I won't leave the binoculars in the car!
Woodbridge Ecological Reserve is one of several owned by California Fish and Game. If you enjoy viewing wildlife I would encourage you to visit one if ever you are in the central valley.

Thanks for visiting my blog and leaving a note! I enjoyed seeing your Sand Hill Cranes and Swans!
A country can call itself lucky to have such a wonderful place. Beautiful photography indeed.
A wonderful Wednesday for you.
Great shots of the swans!
Too bad you forgot the binocs. But looks like a nice variety of birds.
Lovely shots!

There's something really special about watching birds in wetlands and estuaries. Great shots - especially the one with the swan with its wings opened.
As long as you didn't get chased by any of the swans - had involved conversation with a student today about when she got chased by a swan! apparently they can be quite vicious. So glad to see a fabulous photograph taken from a suitably safe distance
I'm so glad I'm not the only one who discovers surprises when the photos are downloaded!
Interesting captures!
I am going to try to blog again regularly. I will have a post tomorrow and then we will see. I had many benches scheduled to post so that blog just keeps going. Thanks for your good thoughts.
What a beautiful and peaceful spot. I would definitely love to visit there some day.
Thanks for your very kind words on Monastery DP. It takes a special and open person to recognize the working of the Holy Spirit in your life as you described it. I pray that you continue to be open to that - there's lots more where that came from.
What a magnificent view, Martha! Would love to be there.
Such beautiful pictures! I would love to see those birds in person.....
Lucky you!
