Apologies for breaking the rules, have merged the threads into one.

We visited Lower Klamath and Tulelake NWR, and Klamath Falls wildlife area (Miller Island unit) last weekend. Nice weather, great sunrise/sunset. As for the wildlife, lots to see...the problem being getting close enough. I don't know now many baldies we saw, maybe 50-100..but almost all were very far away. Same with the ducks, geese and swans. The animals seemed pretty skittish to me, moreso than at Sacramento NWR. Maybe because of the proximity of cars and animals at the latter...Still an amazing place to visit, we just didn't get lucky with closeups. Also saw several coyotes prowling around. This is going to become an annual trek for us I hope. Here are a few pics from the weekend....

I took that trip in 2011 (http://vbnut.zenfolio.com/p780624116, http://vbnut.zenfolio.com/p892341641, http://vbnut.zenfolio.com/p222293477, http://vbnut.zenfolio.com/p141624766, http://vbnut.zenfolio.com/p238034040/h28711bdf#h28711bdf) and 2012 (http://vbnut.zenfolio.com/p626441360/h3deeb082#h3deeb082, http://vbnut.zenfolio.com/p545572505, http://vbnut.zenfolio.com/p579648481, http://vbnut.zenfolio.com/p670685783, http://vbnut.zenfolio.com/p881116660, http://vbnut.zenfolio.com/p713458329) and definitely enjoyed it. Haven't made it back since for various reasons, but was considering another trip this month.

It doesn't look like there is much (any?) snow on the ground. What was the weather like?

That f15 is a national guard outfit that always beats the regular Air Force in their competitions.

No snow on the ground at all. Some on the highest local peaks. It was chilly Saturday, probably not out of the thirties and mostly cloudy. It warmed up a lot Sunday, probably got into the 50's which made driving in the refuges a mucky mess. You should have seen my car when we were done--had to get it detailed the next day!

Yup, you are right. A couple of the planes had markings to that effect. They sure looked good to me...

One last shot...Fading light over the ridge, this one little spot of gold peeked through for a second, and then was gone...

Thanks. Funny thing is I prefer the landscapes even though this was a wildlife trip!
