Spectacular view of Mt. Shasta on the way from our cabin to the wildlife refuge, as you can tell from the photo (I hope). Spent several hours at the refuge, way more than we expected. Beautiful marshes, and saw ibis, white pelicans, egrets, many very unhappy redwing blackbirds (couldn't persuade them were really weren't interested in their nests. Also saw a newly fledged red tailed hawk, thanks to a couple with a good scope.
Then headed north. Stopped at the Favell museum in Klamath Falls. A somewhat odd collection of Native American (from all over) and art and artifacts and some general "western art". It started from a private collection, so reflects personal interest rather than some organizational intent.
Now settled in our airbnb. It's a nice cabin and comes complete with eggs from the chickens who were eager to eat the insects smushed on the front of the car. Our host gathers wild mushrooms as one of several businesses. Current plan of joint dinner tomorrow, and it will definitely involve mushrooms. Yum--should be perfect after a day at Crater Lake, which apparently still has so much snow the rim road is only partly open.
