Summertime at Lower Klamath National Wildlife Refuge

In the shadows of stunning Mt. Shasta lies a beautiful National Wildlife Refuge known as the Lower Klamath NWR.  It's an amazing, amazing place to see wildlife and beautiful scenery along with its sister NWR, Tule Lake.  

Before we get started, you can check out my previous posts from Lower Klamath during the Pacific Migration in the Winter and Spring Here and Here!

But in this post, we'll focus on the vistas of the sweeping landscapes that make up this Northern California area and some of the birds that live here.

Such as Great Egret

Every time I'm out here I'm struck by how artful nature is.  Is that a word?  You turn a corner and there's a watercolor painting right in front of you.

Another amazing and eventful day in Northern California.  Be sure to read my next few posts for some "animal closeups" including a beautiful coyote that just loved posing for me!

Birds, Butterflies, Bugs, and Flowers! Beautiful Tule National Wildlife Refuge!

My last post was all about the beautiful ducks, ducklings, and other majestic creatures at Tule Lake.  

This one is taking things close up.  Like REALLY close up in some cases with some gorgeous macro photography along the shores of Tule Lake.  Some of the flowering bushes were so tall you couldn't see through them, but when that happens, you have to look at what's right in front of you and see the beauty that is sometimes overlooked. 

Like magical, colorful dragonflies!

Is this how they mate?  I feel like they're doing it wrong...

Make a wish! 

This one is one of my absolute favorites!  I love everything about this photo and how it makes me feel. 

Next up, join me and Wiley Coyote at the Lower Klamath National Wildlife Refuge!
