How to Clean a Bathroom

1) Collect your equipment for Sacramento.  Binoculars, camera, water, cleaning box.

2) Check out a vehicle and load up.

3) Proceed slowly around the auto tour with many stops to look/ take pictures. Stop and talk to the visitors.

4) Check out the viewing platform views. Be sure and visit with all the visitors.

5) Spray toilet, and wipe down. Take out trash and replace bag. Check the toilet paper.

6) Finish tour, slowly and carefully so you don't miss anything.

7) Repeat for Llano Seco except this is a thirty mile drive each way and it has two platforms that need checking. And there are lots birds, including tundra swans to watch.

    Hope you had a great Christmas at the refuge, Marilyn!

    I spent most of the day driving around the Delta and checking out the huge flocks of Sandhill cranes and tundra swans in the flooded fields near Walnut Grove and Lodi. Also saw canvasback and common goldeneye in very shallow ponds.

    I spent a lot of time taking pictures of the falcated teal. Just put one picture up as a header with links to my other pics.

    Have a good rest of the holidays.

    I am a huge sandhill crane fan. I try to creep up on them to get pictures as good as yours, and they--without appearing to move--manage to keep 50 yards between themselves and me at all times. I don't know how they do it. Moonwalk, probably.
