Blackhorse Lake
A late winter shot of one of several small lakes at the Turnbull National Wildlife Refuge, near Spokane.
Spring is near and soon this lake will be full of migratory waterfowl. Deer, elk and moose are plentiful here as well.
"Turnbull National Wildlife Refuge is located within a globally unique geological area known as the Channeled Scablands, created by massive scouring from ice age floods approximately 15,000 years ago. An extensive complex of deep permanent sloughs, semi-permanent potholes, and seasonal wetlands formed in the depressions left in the scoured landscape, while soils only centimeters thick on upland sites support ponderosa pine forests interspersed with grassland (steppe) communities on exposed basalt cliffs." fws.gov
