For the Labor day holiday I took the opportunity with my friend Linda to visit the Lower Klamath National Wildlife Refuge once again. The water this time of year is down significantly from the winter/spring time so most of the wildlife is located around Tule Lake. There is an auto tour that you can take around this area.

I love these Snowy Egrets. They are very skittish taking off before you get even remotely close to them which makes them difficult to photograph.

I think that is one of the reasons I like to photograph them. That and I love the brilliant white and the yellow beak and especially feet!

We saw a lot of these Western Grebes as we drove around the auto tour.
I like this photograph of the willets and the reflection of the grass in the water.
As usual here are the rest of the photographs in part 1. Enjoy!
