Colusa National Wildlife Refuge ~ Wetland Birds of California

Wow, what a birding adventure we had at the Colusa National Wildlife Refuge in Northern California! This was the biggest concentration of White-faced Ibis, Egrets, and Herons we've ever seen all in one place! This was also the first time we've ever seen a Bald Eagle at this particular refuge.

We were entertained watching the American Coot stuck in the muck, White-faced Ibis preening their beautiful iridescent feathers, the Black-crowned Night Heron rookery, Snowy Egrets showing off their gorgeous plumage, and a Double-crested Cormorant staring us down with its pretty teal-blue eyes...

Misty Morning Bird Sounds

What a gorgeous morning at the Colusa National Wildlife Refuge! The stars of this birding adventure are the herons, egrets, ibis, and coots.

A great blue heron struck out multiple times, but a great egret got the catch of the day! 🎣
