My birding friend, Cherry Gregory, was in lower Klamath Basin yesterday with her friends , Art and Mary Jo Trainor. All images here were caotrured by Mary Jo.
They found breeding Wilson’s Phalarope – lifer for the Trainors. Otherwise the usual suspects but lucky for 3 dozen or so species…only one patch of water in the lower part nearest the road. Also, water was in sump lakebed in Tule Refuge. Cherry said her biggest thrill was 2 owlets on Sheepy Ridge face with a watchful adult near by.
