11.1.24 Nevada

Day 4 of our trip to California. We stoped at the Bird Viewing preserve in Henderson and Wetlands park. We saw tons of cool ducks, shorebirds, tiny lizards, forktails, Snowy Egrets, and the Sonoran Bumble Bees below. Plus there were a bunch of fun cactuses (most of them were pricklypears). At the Wetlands Park we saw the Las Vegas Wash, American Coots trying to swim against the Las Vegas Wash, And Phainopeplas. We also bought a Turkey Vuture plushie (photos will be in later post). This was a pretty fun day!
