Cibola NWR

We were recently in Blythe, California to attend their annual bluegrass music festival.  Before and after the festival, we made a couple of drives down to the Cibola National Wildlife Refuge, south of Blythe along the Colorado River.  Below are a number of images from those drives.


White geese and Canada Geese



American Kestrel



Great Egret



Burrowing Owl



Sandhill Cranes



A flock of white geese



Lots of Mule Deer



Northern Pintail Ducks



Black-crowned Night Heron



Cranes against the late afternoon sky



"Golden hour" light



We decided to stay a little longer since a nice sunset seemed possible.
We were rewarded with a fantastic sunset!
