Tulelake National Wildlife Refuge

Thank you to ALL the amazing families that joined us on our field trip!! Thank you also to Kellen Watson and Hallie Rasmussen, our tour guides and biologists who helped us learn so much about bald eagle adaptations and bird identification.  Some of the species we identified were:
* bald eagles
* red-tailed hawks
*rough-necked hawks
*tundra swans
*red-winged blackbirds
*coots
*many varieties of ducks
*pheasants
*harriers
*mule deer
and many more I'm forgetting! 

We had an amazing hike up Sheepy Ridge and around Discovery Marsh, and were lucky enough to cruise by Bear Valley to see the bald eagle's in their FIRST day in the nest!!  So incredible!
