Another birding weekend

I spent last weekend visiting a couple of places such as the Kern River Preserve, Pixley National Wildlife Refuge, Kern National Wildlife Refuge, Tule Elk State Preserve, Lake Ming and Hart Park, driving and walking around taking pictures of the birds. I was amazed by how many Sandhill Cranes were at Pixley Ntl Wildlife Refuge. It was my first visit there, and it was awesome. Hundreds and hundreds of the cranes were wintering there. They will soon be gone, flying back to their nesting grounds.

I have posted some pics below.....enjoy!
