As usual! I was looking for the Wood Duck at San Luis Creek but I found a raccoon searching for food in the creek. He kept coming closer and closer to me . After 20 shots, I decided to let him enjoy his day! It was a beautiful warm day at Avila Beach!!!!

I watched a group of 6 coyotes hunting near Arroyo del la Cruz Creek. I caught this guy stalking and jumping for something way out there!!!!! I used my converter for the first time on my 100-400 lens but I see I need to use a tripod or mono pod.
