I took Pongo on a drive out to the San Luis refuge on Sunday.  He hasn't been out on an adventure in over a month so he was extra excited about the trip.  Most of the birds are gone until winter, but we did see a lot of hawks.  I always hope for a coyote or two, but no such luck.  There were a few elk hanging out near the fence, though.  It looks like they've shed most of the velvet from their antlers.
