I have had similar experiences at Sacramento National Wildlife Refuge and you are so right on when you say “am I ever glad that I am a birder!&# It was a great experience.

Growing up in central Oregon, allowed me to experience such a diverse amount of habitat, and the wildlife that resides there. I had the antelope greet me on my way in, and this Mule Deer doe, was there to say goodbye on my way out. This Hermit thrush was almost missed, in all the smoke, but I did manage to get a couple of decent shots.

Cats are slaves to no one, at least according to their reputation, which in my experience holds true.
