We first did a trip to Reifel. It has been about three years since I last visited. Just outside of the refuge was a huge flock of Snow Geese. Soon they will start migrating north.
It is always a lot easier to get photos of Wood Ducks at Reifel.
A few Night Herons were still present. As usual they were behind a lot of branches.
This Fox Sparrow was very cooperative.
There was a Hutton's Vireo present. First one I have seen at Reifel. There was a Ruby-crowned Kinglet nearby. I was hoping they would be on the same branch to get a good comparison photo!
A Bittern flew in at one point. I haven't seen in one in about 7 years.
Two Ring-necked Ducks
We tallied 49 species. Surprisingly, no Rufous Hummingbirds or Yellow-rumped Warblers.
We then made a brief stop at Brunswick Point. Highlights included Pacific Loon, Red-breasted Merganser, Plovers.
