Yolo Basin Walk

Commando and I drove to the Vic Fazio Yolo Wildlife area and took a walk in the area open to dogs and bikes. It was windy and sunny. Commando flushed a pheasant and tried to chase pigeons, swallows, and meadowlarks. Needless to say he was not successful. I pointed out a fleeing jackrabbit but he failed to look where I was pointing and missed it. He also terrified several small rodents and perhaps ruined the foyer of the bolt hole. There was a dead juvenile hawk and he sniffed it with interest and I did not let him eat any of it or roll on the carcass. This is a great trip and I'll be back. I can see where there's a good place to kayak when it's flooded and there's no current and it's sunny and not windy.
