Crotty is a birder and lawyer living in Portland, Oregon. This is Jason’s first contribution to 10,000 Birds: Birders were rightly alarmed by the armed occupation of the Malheur NWR in Oregon.

They’re becoming an expected sight there – and one that’s hard to miss given their immense size.

After all, each refuge has been set aside to permanently protect birds and other wildlife. Getting from Portland, Oregon to McAllen, Texas—one of the towns near Santa Ana NWR—is neither quick nor easy, but I arrived on Sunday, November 5, 2017. Indeed, The U.S. It was hot and most of the ponds and wetlands were dry.
