I got up around 7:00 this morning and was out the door with the dog by about 7:30 am.  We headed out to the Sacramento National Wildlife Preserve.  Usually, I like to this trip on a Saturday because it’s a lot of in-the-car time for both me and the dog, but my Saturday was sort of messed up, so…  Here we are. 

 Lots and lots of Red-Tailed Hawks out today, including a couple of mated pairs, and quite a few ground squirrels.  I also saw the normal contingent of ducks and geese, and an occasional egret.  No super-stand outs today, but I did get a few nice close-ups of critters, so I figured it was worth the drive.
