Shore Birds? Yep.......

You might be wondering, why would the high desert full of sage brush and grass have shore birds? Well, we have a creek that runs year round and many ponds and reservoirs. Most of the birds are here in summer nesting and raising their offspring.

American Avocet. They eat the stuff in the mud.

Blue Herron. There is a Herron Rookery along the creek in the trees. There's like 8 nests.

Mama killdeer and her baby. They also nest in the barnyard!!

Curlew.

Dowicher. Short billed.

Long billed dowicher.

Trumpeter Swans. We also have thousands of Canadian geese and ducks.

Bald Eagle.

Bald Eagle. This is the male. I am hoping they will nest here!!
