California is blessed with 51 NWRs and Wildlife Management Areas (WMA), second only to North Dakota with 77. Click on photos for full sized images.

Among birders, wildlife photographers, and nature enthusiasts, it is renowned for its incredible concentrations of birds at the end of the dry season. Screamers are most closely related to waterfowl such as ducks and geese. The incredible lighting at dawn in the Pantanal is an experience in of itself. I must mention one thing.

Now it is perfect weather for camping in the bush and enjoying the wildlife and for this reason we took two days to explore the bush between Broome and Derby. There was still a small body of water remaining and among the reeds were Grey Teal, Hardheads, Pacific Black Ducks and Australasian Grebe. Varied Sittella. White-necked Heron.
