On our 2nd day driving from Southern California to Washington State we made an unscheduled stop at the Sacramento Wildlife Refuge south of Redding, California. It was a beautiful Sunday after our rain shower filled Saturday.
Please visit Susan at a Southern DayDreamer to see more of the great outdoors!
Photobucket is holding all my photos that I stored on their site from 2007-2015 hostage replacing them with ugly grey and black boxes and asking for a large ransom to retrieve them. It is a slow process to go through all my posts deleting the ugly boxes.

That was definitely worth the stop – you saw tons of wildlife. Very cool!
I love wild life refuges you can see so many animals in their normal surroundings. Looks like you got some super shots!
What a great series of photos! Spring is definitely springing up all over. Love the shot of the Jackrabbit, great capture. And the birds in flight are wonderful, they are hard to catch and these are beautiful!
Beautiful photos from the drive! Did you think of me as passed by/through Woodland on I-5?
I was wondering where you lived up there. Have seen Woodland so many times on so many drives!
Oh My Goodness Ellen, these photos are amazing! You captured so much beauty AND so much action! I loved seeing these. laurie
You captured so much wildlife there! We pass by that area all the time and have never thought to stop. Loved the photos!
That was a great trip you took us to see the wildlife refuges. I enjoyed seeing such great shots of the animals.
All I can say is “WOW!” Birds! Birds!
These are absolutely beautiful. I love them all!
What a great refuge! So many critters and a beautiful mountain in the background. I wish I was there with you!

What a hoot! I adore that last image of the rabbit sticking its tongue out and the sun shining through its ear. G-r-e-a-t shot!

I’ve heard that’s a really great NWR. My husband and I thought about going there next week actually, though it’s quite a drive for us, so we’ll see. Looks like you saw lots of great birds and wildlife, beautiful photos!
Great shots! That rabbit is scaring me!!
What’s with that Rabbit and his ears and his mouth? He looks possessed LOL YIKES. The rest are just beautiful 🙂
Beautiful series of photos. That was a worth unscheduled stop at Sacramento Wildlife Refugee.. Great shots.
Your photography is spectacular! I’ve just enjoyed reading through all of your blogs from the past week or so. My husband used to spend a lot of time in Pleasanton on business, and he never said a word about what a charming spot it was!
Beautiful captures! I love the hawk and jack rabbit with his tongue out! Amazing shots.
Looks like your unscheduled stop really paid off! Great shots! The jack rabbit looks like he is sticking out his tongue at you! Too cute!
Thank you for sharing Sacramento Wildlife Refuge with us today.
