By the time we left, I had recorded one new Lifer, 12 New Year Birds, and a total of 76 species. Yellow-headed Blackbirds, Red-winged Blackbirds, Brewers Blackbirds, Marsh Wrens , And Common Yellowthroats were incredibly plentiful. In addition to the birds, we saw Mule Deer, Beaver, Muskrat , and Mink.

Located about 20 miles from Lakeview, Oregon, and sitting at an elevation of 5100 feet, this 208 acre lake is home to many species of fish, including Largemouth Bass, Crappie and Bluegill. Lets see what fun species I can find over there? It was good to be back!

Brewer’s Blackbirds and House Finches were carting nesting material to and fro. Things were quiet at first as I headed upwards, until I startled two Mule Deer. Whatever species they were considered these days, they were clearly planning to propagate more. It’s not actually this steep. It just feels this steep.

Besides the American bison that the refuge was founded to protect, there are pronghorns, elk, bighorn sheep, mule and white-tailed deer, and black bears. To my disappointment the biggest and most visible species I saw was the introduced Common (Ring-necked) Pheasant , and my first lifer was the equally introduced Gray Partridge.
