This red-tailed hawk and Northern harrier were not enjoying sharing the sky. We saw them bothering each other off and on across the refuge.

The first pic is my favorite from yesterday's birding. A small group of red-winged blackbirds was about 4 ft away from the car window. Second pic is when he turned and realized I was there.

This California scrub jay seems undaunted by the size of this acorn.

This greater white-fronted goose seemed rather bothered by some of its neighbors.

So exciting to see the sandhill cranes back at #RidgefieldNWR.

I noticed someone had tucked a rose behind a tree at the wildlife refuge a couple of days ago. Perhaps in memory of a loved one?
