Becker Lake 2020

Becker Lake is the logical place to go in Round Valley for sunrise and sunset pictures. It is also good for insects.
The real photographer.
For those who don't know damselflies rest with their wings along their bodies whereas dragonflies have their wings outstreatched as the eight-spotted skimmer below.

The tree swallows are thick after the sun goes down. 
The yellow-headed blackbirds swarm at Becker Wildlife during the day and come to Becker Lake in the evening. 
This has been the only night hawk I have had the opportunity to get a shot of. He was back lit so not nearly as good as the one that Fely got. 
The mule deer come to drink about dark. 
The shot above and below were taken when the fires were raging in California thus the sun turning to blood. 
The picture above and those below are of the harvest moon on Oct 1.
