Refuge Wednesday

Molly and I enjoyed the sunshine and cool breezes was well as the abundant wildlife at the refuge. Kestrels, Harriers and Rough-legged hawks were to be seen all over the place along with a couple of juvenile Red-tailed hawks. Molly raced down a trail and flushed a Bald Eagle, much to our surprise!
And Pheasants, the Dandies of the desert! Season must be over because the males were found quite readily.
Here's some shots from today...

Hard to hide these beautiful colors...

Beauty in death as well as life...
