Nesting Tree
Turnbull National Wildlife Refuge encompasses over 23,000 acres in eastern Washington on the edge of the Columbia River Basin. The Channeled Scablands ecosystem that predominates the Refuge is unique within the National Wildlife Refuge System. Ponderosa pine, wetlands, meadow steppe and riparian habitat dominate the landscape.
The dry summer’s impact to the wetlands and lakes is apparent as is the resulting low number of birds. This dried out wetland dead tree caught my eye for its textures and moss - and also because I hope to see song birds nesting in its nooks and crannies next spring!
