About Me

My photo
Proud single mom of one beautiful daughter who shares my love of sports and music. She doesn't share my love of the outdoors which I find weird. I love photography and wish I had a better camera!! Maybe someday...

Wow! So Many Different Birds, Raptors and Ducks at the Sacramento National Wildlife Refuge! Part 3 Birdwatching at SNWR.

Be sure to check out my previous posts from this wonderful day of birdwatching at Sacramento National Wildlife Refuge!  

Bunnies, Raptors, Ducks, and Pheasants!

Snow Geese, White-fronted Geese, Pelicans, Hawks, and Bald Eagles!

I saw so many birds that I don't normally see out here!  Including flocks of Ring-necked Ducks!

I don't know why they are called Ring-necked when it's the bill that actually has the ring on it.  The males are black/grey and the females are brown.
