The Camas Complex
Birding what I like to call the Camas complex this includes the Market Lake Wildlife Management Area, the Camas National Wildlife Refuge, and the Mud Lake Wildlife Management Area. I left my house at 5:30 which meant I wasn’t there for sunrise but still in the morning hours. Sunrise is close to 6:00 at this point in the summer. In any case I spent so much time looking at the birds that I took few photos. I was particularly taken with the possibilities of Mud Lake which I apparently haven’t been birding enough to really know the best spots. I will be remedying this.
