Hawks Aplenty

On Thursday, we started the New Year off with a bang and saw the most hawks we've ever seen in one day...

We finally got a chance to go to the refuge! We went to both the Sacramento National Wildlife Refuge and the Colusa NWR and it was the perfect day to go. The sky was dark and mysterious and beautiful clouds provided the perfect backdrop for our photos.
