On Saturday we needed to get out of the house so we decided to pack up some lunch and head for the Ridgefield Wildlife Refuge that is about 5 minutes from our house. From the minute we got there we knew that we had timed it right - birds where everywhere!! Megan thought that we were at Yellowstone, that was kind of funny! We saw about 20 blue herons, 2 muskrats, white swans, and a variety of different kinds of ducks. We had a great time driving through the refuge and eating our lunch!

Wow! So many birds! So exciting for you all. That's so lucky :-)
That looks like fun and something different to do. It's cool you have fun stuff to do that's closeby!
WOW! What beautiful pictures! Who's the photographer? Is that you? BRAVO for getting the kiddos OUTSIDE in touch the natural world. Kids today are Nature Deprived and I think its hurting them and all of us as they grow. You are a wonderful mom.
