On my last day in California we went to the Yolo Bypass Bird Sanctuary. Hit the jackpot! I saw 7 new birds for my life list and a number of others. The photos are not great that I took, but I included some of the clearest ones below.

• Short-eared owl
• Northern Harrier

• Black Phoebe

• White-Faced Ibis

• Marsh Wren
• White-tailed Kite

• Northern Shoveler

Also saw:

• Great Egret
• Snowy Egret

• Ring-necked Pheasant
• Tundra Swan

• American Coot
• Mallards
• Green-winged Teal
• Blue-winged Teal
• Pin-tail Duck
• Black-necked Stilt

I have photos of a couple of other birds I have not identified yet…will consult more books when I get home!
