Soundtrack:
- Elliot Smith -- From a Basement on a Hill
Pongo and I got a late start on Sunday, so we stayed fairly close to home. We went to the Yolo Bypass Wildlife Area, which I always enjoy visiting even though I've never had an outstanding wildlife viewing experience there. It's normally been a low-key two or three hours hanging out and taking the auto tour to see the ducks and blackbirds. Yesterday was no different.

| Great Egret -- Yolo Bypass Wildlife Area, CA |
One thing I can say is that there always seem to be a lot of great egrets there. I'm not sure why that is, but I tend to get my best great egret photos from this place.

| Great-tailed Gackle -- Yolo Bypass Wildlife Area, CA |
We saw this gackle alone in a tree singing his heart out. Such strange sounds come out of this bird's mouth.

| Red-tailed Hawk -- Yolo Bypass Wildlife Area, CA |
 |
| Western Meadowlark -- Yolo Bypass Wildlife Area, CA |
The strangest sight was these two cormorants sitting on a power pole like hawks. I've never seen such a thing. Crazy birds.
