Mendota Wildlife Area

I stopped at the Sportsmobile factory in Fresno to have my awning repaired and enjoyed hugs and a chat with Liz and Lynn. Next I headed for the Mendota Wildlife Area south of Los Banos. Most of the area was closed except to duck hunters with special permits. It was a lovely warm day and I found a quiet spot on the Fresno Slough where I could observe the waterfowl and watch the occasional splash of fish jumping.

I love the sunsets here and enjoyed listening to the birds and ducks finish up their days-end chatter as the frogs started their evening symphony, joined later by the coyote moonlight serenade.
