Gold rush on San Francisco Bay
Richard Smith of Fremont captured this sunset at the Don Edwards Refuge Center in south San Francisco Bay.
He took the shot about 5:30 p.m. from the highest point overlooking the park, which spans 30,000 acres of bay, salt marsh and other habitats.
Situated along the Pacific Flyway, the migratory rest stop hosts more than 280 species of birds each year.
“It is the first urban area to become a national wildlife refuge,” Smith says.
