The Wildlife of Modoc - Part 1

We finally made the drive up to Alturas to check out the Modoc National Wildlife Refuge! Before we even made the turn into the refuge, a pair of Sandhill Cranes greeted us from a field next to the road...

This is the closest we've ever been to cranes before and I was excited to get some better photos than the ones I got at Llano Seco...

There was also a big nest before the refuge entrance...
