The End of the Western Trek: Klamath Wildlife Refuge

From Lakeview, Oregon, into Northern California
A visit the Klamath Wildlife Refuge's Tule Lake Refuge.
(If you click on an image, you will get a larger view.)

View North toward Lakeview--seasonal wetland/lake
My favorite road-cut lava flow! Note the darker lava within lighter casing, each discrete from its neighbour.
Not a gull or vulture
But almost as common... five bald eagles and two golden eagles in 2 mile stretch of Tule Lake Refuge
Geese agitated into flight by KWR staff in fan boat (Everglades-style) collecting dead fowl--avian cholera. A sad reason to see a beautiful flight.
"Honk", "honk", and "honk" again.
No, this is not blurred, there are so many wheeling snow geese in this formation, that it just looks that way.
