| On Thanksgiving Day, I drove around the refuge. The driving 'tour' covers only a small portion of the 57,000+ acres of the refuge. The refuge is managed like a 'farm' for birds. The section above is for ducks. Can you see them swimming beneath the tree? |
 |
| This is what the ducks look like up close. There were about 50 of them feeding here. |
 |
| Each white dot in the photo is a snow goose! This is the 'snow goose' section of the refuge. |
 |
| Here's a close-up of part of the flock.Can you guess how many are in all? Luckily, the refuge keeps a count and then they know how many acres of food they need to grow for the birds to survive the winter. |
 |
| Of course the birds are not in cages, so they are free to fly wherever they want! |
 |
| Imagine this roadrunner on the side of the road in the refuge! |
 |
| When I drove by, it ran into the bushes and I could see what great camouflage it has! Happy Thanksgiving! |
