American Pipits at Quivira National Wildlife Refuge in KS
I got in to the Quivira National Refuge in KS late yesterday afternoon. I saw 3-4 of these American Pipits there today. I caught this pipit in the bottom pic as it appeared to yawn. SeEtta
Egrets at Quivira NWR
These are some of the many egrets that were still at Quivira National Wildlife Refuge in early October as I meandered my way home through Kansas.
