They were the first 2 forms for the entire trip,
2 others were seen later.

After lunch we went to the newly Los Banos
Wildlife Area (State) & found it closed for bird
watching because it was the hunting season. So we
went on to the San Luis National Wildlife Refuge
& parked 1/2 to the north. We spent about 1 hr.
driving around the lakes there. Birds were:
