Cibola National Wildlife Refuge

What a great stop this was. The Cibola Refuge is twenty or so miles south of Blythe in Arizona.


The access to Cibola from Blythe is across a bridge that neither California nor Arizona would build for the community. So the community built their own "Farmers Cibola Bridge" ( which has plenty of qualifications if you happen to use it).

We ended up seeing plenty of  Vermilion Flycatchers, Gambel's Quail, Coots, American Kestrels  and the Sandhill Cranes below.


Some "Great Egret's".


Our favorite of course...a bird of prey. The Burrowing Owl!
The refuge builds the owls a 4 foot deep home so the coyotes can't dig them out.
