While driving the refuge road one afternoon, we noticed a vehicle stopped to observe something beside the road. We are glad that they had spotted this bobcat in a tree as we may well have missed it.
A sunset at the Wetlands Roost pond
We returned to the roost pond before dawn the next morning for the geese departure.

It is easier to tell a Ross's Goose from a Snow Goose when they are next to each other. (Ross's on the left)
Cranes heading out
With the cranes starting to depart, we started seeing more courtship behavior.

Wonderful scenery in the morning light
In the early afternoon we expected to find geese in the roost pond. Instead, most of them were hanging out in the field next to it.

On our last circuit of the refuge road during this visit, we felt lucky to spot this bobcat.
Art, this latest photo series is particularly wonderful! Thanks for the views!
