Introduction

On April 4th, 2026, I went to Contra Costa Canal Regional Trail for hiking and photography. To be honest, I did not find too many things interesting on Contra Costa Canal Regional Trail. Rather, Heather Farm Park, which is the starting point of Contra Costa Canal Regional Trail, has a few places for photography, such as the ponds, the rose garden, and the equestrian center.

I was able to see and photograph two Red-Tailed Hawks “dancing” in the sky, a Fox squirrel warning an approaching cat for protecting its baby, two Double-striped Bluets mating. Unfortunately, I did not carry my Sony FE 300mm f/2.8 GM OSS + Sony FE 2x Teleconverter, and some of those moments captured by Tamron 50-400mm F/4.5-6.3 Di III VC VXD were less than ideal.
