Where is everyone? Here goes with my first one. This was taken at the Lower Klamath National Wildlife Refuge just south of State Line Road on February 20th.

Here's another one from the same trip. This was taken on the Tule Lake NWR auto tour route on February 19th. I had a bit of snow that morning that lasted long enough to get some snow backgrounds. For the non-birders, this is a Savannah Sparrow.

And last, here's a Dark-eyed Junco from my back yard (a couple of miles south of Littlerock, WA) taken on January 25th.
Well, I'm new to the area (having relocated from UT and, before that, AZ then CA) and am still learning the area, but here's a few from a late-January trip out to the Olympics.
