Out West

I was able to spend my break at Ash Meadows National Wildlife Refuge in Nevada. Since spring is right around the corner the bird diversity at the refuge was amazing. I don't know if it is always like that or if I am just more aware of it now, but birds were every where! Some of the note worthy observations include:

Lesser black backed gull (only the second one ever seen in Nevada), Gambles quail, northern harrier, Great blue heron, Black-necked Stilt, American Coot, and a Greater Roadrunner.

Unfortunately, photographing most of these was difficult although I was able to snag a few shots.
