I got up in the wee hours of the morning to go on a photography/bird watching expedition with some friends at the
Nisqually Wildlife Refuge. We ate a big breakfast, then walked (more ambling than walking) the 5.5 mile loop through the wetlands. Unfortunately, it was overcast and quite dark so not the best for photos. I also really missed having a
telephoto lens!

I had to blow this one up quite a bit so it's a tad blurry. Still, it was my favorite bird shot. BTW, the white stuff falling in the background is not snow. I believe it was coming from the Cottonwood trees.
