Wildlife Refuge

The night before Jude left, we took her to see our local Wildlife Refuge. This place is awesome - you drive through really slow, and check out all the local birds and wildlife. It's a loop that is several miles long, through woods and around marshes and creeks. We go several times a year, and it's always different, and you always see something new.

This time we saw Silver Herons, a Bald Eagle, Sand Pipers, several Osprey, and a truck stop for the Canadian Geese flying South for the Winter. They are amazing birds these Geese... somehow they all know where to stop and rest, and you'll come across fields with hundreds of geese just chillin. They don't all travel together, but they all seem to know where to congregate. Odd ducks. Geese? Whatever.

and although I didn't get pictures of the Bald Eagle or Ospreys, I did get one of the incredible moon that was close enough to touch


It was a fun ride through there, as always!
