Wonderful Waterfowl ☼ Tule Lake National Wildlife Refuge

Besides all of the Snow Geese we saw on the Tule Lake National Wildlife Refuge auto tour, we also saw quite a few different duck species.
 Some of the male Ruddy Ducks were getting their blue bills for breeding season...

We've finally arrived at the Lower Klamath National Wildlife Refuge!
Just as we turned onto the auto tour, we spotted this Willet, a new species for the Big Year list!
