Winter in the Butte wetlands Sutter County California



by Diana McCollum

Today my husband and I took a drive to the Butte wetlands.  This is on the super migratory highway for water fowl. There is a park where you can take a slow meandering drive through the wetlands on dikes. You are not allowed to get out of your car or make loud noises or feed the water fowl. 

We saw Canadian Geese, Snow Geese, Swans, Hawks and all kinds of ducks. No hunting allowed! 

It's a sanctuary for all animals. 

I took lots of pictures and hope you enjoy the ones I've chosen to share on the winter day.

These first two pictures are of the Sutter Buttes. The smallest mountain range in America. A ring of volcanos.








































Hope you enjoyed the pictures!
