We recently went to the nearby wildlife refuge.This time of year there are quite a few migratory birds there. The land is perfect for birds with large ponds, marshes, the Bitterroot River, woods and large grassy areas.
Ellie and Owen love to try and spot wildlife. We saw a large flock of white birds circling in the air and so drove back over by the pond to see if they had landed. Ellie was thrilled to see the Snow Goose. We also spotted several wild turkeys, pheasants, deer and all kinds of ducks. Ellie also spotted a Sandhill crane. We have a crane that must live near our house because once in awhile we see it in a nearby creek and flying. Anyway, Ellie was supper excited to spot the crane. She had to take pictures of it and record it in her little book. here are a couple pictures from the refuge.....
