Consumnes Wildlife Refuge

Jude went to a movie today. Derailed. It didn't get the best of reviews as they said the movie started out with a good premise, but it fell apart as the plot progressed. That said, Jude enjoyed the movie. Hmmmm. . . What kind of reviewer does that make her?

After that, The Crew went to the Consumes Wildlife Refuge and watched flocks of Sandhill Cranes fly in to winter over. They call back and forth from each side of the chevron. Jude thinks it's so they can maintain formation.

The telescope was put to use to watch swans, Canadian geese, greebes, ducks, avocets, and a variety of birds we didn't know the names of (and didn't take the time to look up in the field guide).

Then we got the treat of the day: Sunset. Started out in shades of pastel and ended in a blaze.

Moonrise at sunset.

Canadian geese.


Sandhill cranes.

Sunset finale on another wonderful day.
