SAN RAFAEL, CA — Jeanne Johnson took this photo of a beautiful Snowy Ergret walking in the shallows of a pond at the Las Gallinas Valley Sanitation District in San Rafael. Jeanne participated in an Audubon Marin bird walk on March 7. "The walk was very informative and a lot of fun" Jeanne told Patch in an email. "The sun was out with a gentle breeze. About 20 people attended, from beginning birders to advanced experts."

Find out about future Audubon Marin bird walks to places such as Rodeo Lagoon – Marin, Loch Lomond Marina – San Rafael Headlands, Nicasio / Tomales Bay, and, once again, The Ponds at Las Gallinas Sanitary District (LGVSD).

Thank you for submitting your photo, Jeanne.
