Fog at Malheur NWR Visitor Center
January is a low season for birds at the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge in eastern Oregon. We noted that water levels in Malheur Lake were lower than other times that we have visited, and in fact, there were not many birds in sight.

We will definitely return to this area a little later this Spring.

Fog was a persistent theme in Oregon in December and January this winter, which is not how I remember it being in the past (perhaps my memory is faulty). Great egrets fit nicely with that theme, as I found on an early January morning walk around Delta Ponds in Eugene.
