Majesty in the Trees
A break in the relentless rain presented the perfect opportunity to explore Sacramento National Wildlife Refuge, a vast sanctuary of 10,819 acres situated approximately 70 miles north of Sacramento, California. This haven for wildlife encompasses a diverse array of habitats, including wetlands, grasslands, and riparian areas. We were captivated by the abundance of bird species, but none compared to the thrill of spotting a magnificent Bald Eagle resting on a towering tree. The eagle's majestic appearance, with its stark contrast of white head and tail against its dark brown body and wings, and its bright yellow legs and bill, was truly awe-inspiring.
