First Visit to Yolo By-Pass Wildlife Area

Today Patrick and I drove the hour over to Davis and our first visit to the Yolo By-Pass Wildlife area.  This day-after-Thanksgiving field trip has become a tradition but we have previously gone to Sacramento National Wildlife Refuge a few more hours north. A beautiful morning greeted us and we saw a nice selection of wintering Central Valley birds.  Highlights included a Green Heron, White-faced Ibis, American Bittern, Red-shouldered Hawk, White-tailed Kites, and a Sharp-shinned Hawk along with the regular waterfowl inhabitants.
