Holly Heyser - JHO ProStaff
- Sacramento, CA
January 28, 2009
ProStaffer Holly Heyser overcame a little minor surgical procedure and made it out for the end of the CA waterfowl season. The season closer is always a kind of bittersweet event, and Heyser captures it for those of us who couldn't be there in person.
In the last minutes of sunlight, I kept my eye on the Closed Zone, but there were no ducks coming out of it. Instead, our entire pond was alive with swallows zipping and darting through the air, a visual symphony all around us, the final fireworks for the last day of the season.
It was perfect. I didn't need any more ducks. Closing Day is a special day, one you always want to be memorable, like anniversaries and birthdays. My first two closing days had been decidedly unspectacular. But this one had been fantastic: a generous invitation from an online friend, a pre-sunrise-to-sunset hunt, and my best take yet at my favorite refuge. For this to close with a beautiful display of nature was icing on the cake.
