King of the Refuge

There are lots of Kingbirds (and flowers) at the Sacramento National Wildlife Refuge...

 These just happened to be at the entrance to the refuge, across from the welcome sign...

 And today's bonus bird is a Great Egret...

Peekaboo!

I can't believe my camera was actually able to focus in on this Black-necked Stilt between the reeds!

auto tour

Flycatchers and Friends

One of my favorite spots on the Sacramento National Wildlife Refuge auto tour is where the Kingbirds, Phoebes and Doves hang out...

Marsh Birds

I love listening to the Marsh Wrens at the Sacramento National Wildlife Refuge...

They still find the time to sing even though they are busy working on building their nests...

Today's bonus bird is a Snow Goose...

Cruisin' for Birds

Here are some more birds we saw when we cruised through the Pool 2 portion of the Sacramento National Wildlife Refuge auto tour...

Golden-crowned Sparrow

Red-tailed Hawk

Turkey Vultures aren't my favorite looking bird, but they looked so striking on these tree branches that I had to snap a few photos...

Bold Bittern

What a treat to get to see an American Bittern on the auto tour at the Sacramento National Wildlife Refuge!

Posing for the camera...

Once in a while, a bird will stick around and pose for you and let you take as many photos as you want. This Western Meadowlark at the Sacramento National Wildlife Refuge didn't mind showing me all of its angles...
