We hadn’t been out to the Reifel Migratory Bird Sanctuary in several years, perhaps not since Covid.

We didn’t know you’re still supposed to get entry reservations, but it was a slow day and we were let in without one.

Red-necked Pharalopes near the entrance shelter. Another photographer clued us in to this species that we’d never observed before. Unfortunately they stayed well off in the distance. . .
