47 photos of the wildlife at Malheur Wildlife Refuge at that website.

"Perhaps the most celebrated of all birder destinations in the Northwest. Birders might well see a hundred species of birds at Malheur from August through November."

Specially noted for certain Ibis as I understand it from an Oregon birder.

This location is a national wildlife refuge for a reason. How sad that a bunch of right-wingers with little sense have taken it upon themselves to disrupt the wildlife there.

What a shame!
