a wildlife photography exhibit.<\/p>\n<p>The guest list also included a great horned owl, turkey vulture, American kestrel and domestic dove from Fairview&#8217;s Sulphur Creek Nature Center.<\/p>\n<p>The birds, residents at the wildlife rehabilitation and education center, were stars in the flesh and in photos.<\/p>\n<p>Their high-definition pictures were included among 100 photographs of animals and birds from Alaska to Africa, and from Yosemite to the hills above Hayward.<\/p>\n<p>The birds were brought from an adjoining room by ones and twos, center Coordinator Wendy Winsted said, to reduce the stress level.<\/p>\n<div style=\"float: right;margin: px;\"><script type=\"text\/javascript\"><!--\ngoogle_ad_client = \"pub-1085096769368578\";\ngoogle_alternate_color = \"FFFFFF\";\ngoogle_ad_width = 125;\ngoogle_ad_height = 125;\ngoogle_ad_format = \"125x125_as\";\ngoogle_ad_type = \"text_image\";\ngoogle_ad_channel =\"\";\ngoogle_color_border = \"FFFFFF\";\ngoogle_color_link = \"394948\";\ngoogle_color_bg = \"FFFFFF\";\ngoogle_color_text = \"394948\";\ngoogle_color_url = \"394948\";\ngoogle_ui_features = \"\";\n\/\/--><\/script>\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\"\n  src=\"http:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/show_ads.js\">\n<\/script><\/div><p>&#8220;They&#8217;re used to crowds,&#8221; Winsted explained, &#8220;but not too much (at one time).&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The work of photographers Oliver Klink of San Jose and Munir Kureshi are featured in the exhibit.<\/p>\n<p>Klink photographed the center&#8217;s birds, and is donating proceeds from the sales of these pictures back to thecenter.<\/p>\n<p>Klink also photographed &#8220;The Players,&#8221; 11\/2-year-old grizzly cubs, in Alaska last summer. For seven days, he followed the cubs and their mother to observe their behavior. He captured many images, including a playful moment depicted in the exhibit photo.<\/p>\n<p>Earlier this month, Kureshi visited Monterey, where he captured a picture of a mother sea otter and her pup. The mother manages to keep the pup on her belly while turning in the waters of Monterey Bay.<\/p>\n<p>Kureshi learned about hummingbirds while photographing them in the Santa Cruz Mountains, as well as Arizona, in recent years.<\/p>\n<p>On some days, he observed more than 100 hummingbirds at a time, in areas specially planted to attract the energetic, 2-inch-long birds with iridescent feathers.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The technical challenge is to freeze their flapping wings, and capture unusual postures often undetected by the human eyes,&#8221; Kureshi said.<\/p>\n<p>He learned to distinguish the different types of hummingbirds as they hovered in mid-air to display territorial dominance, courtship rituals, or merely feeding.<\/p>\n<p>PhotoCentral Gallery hours are 5 to 10 p.m. Monday, 10 a.m. to<\/p>\n<p>2 p.m. Tuesday and Thursday, and noon to 4 p.m. Saturday.
