Wildlife in the Refuge

On this balmy autumn afternoon wildlife was in the  refuge.  Humans were few.  Birds were abundant.  Vireos and warblers were preparing for their southern migration.

Others were making tracks in the sand.

 It's tough to see the four-footed track makers, let alone get a photo.  Luck played a large part in snapping this coyote just before he was swallowed by the marsh grass.

Another transcendent day on the marsh.
