"Baskett Slough NWR, Oregon ... March 11, 2009"

The Trip:    Nice sunny spring day ... had hoped to find the American Pipit (success) and the Horned Lark (nope) ... was pleasantly surprised at getting closeups of the Western Meadowlark. Saw many more birds other than these 10 species shown below. Baskett Slough NWR:    From the Baskett Slough National Wildlife Refuge website (2010): "... The 2,492 acre Baskett Slough National Wildlife Refuge was created to provide vital wintering habitat for dusky Canada geese. Unlike most other Canada geese, duskies have limited summer and winter ranges. They nest on Alaska's Copper River Delta and winter almost exclusively in the Willamette Valley. ..."
