Bird Festival

Last week the refuge was a very busy place with getting everything ready for the Bird Festival on Saturday (Over 800 people attended). John helped haul supplies, put up tents and signs and lots of other miscellaneous stuff.  The festival is a free event for the community.  There was something for everybody to enjoy:  Conestoga Wagon rides through the refuge, bird house building, archery, a scavenger hunt and crafts, just to name a few.  Friday afternoon we had a trial run on the wagon ride.

The archery site.

The eagle's nest is located on the wagon's route.  Great chance for people to get a photo. 

We were all tired after the festival was over but a few of us went out for a bite to eat.  John was busy Monday and Tuesday helping put away tents and other supplies from the festival.  Yesterday was a mowing day for him.  He mowed the area around the RV sites and the bunkhouse.  While he was mowing around the RV sites he mowed right up to some honey bees on a tree.

They were gone this morning. 

I have been working at the Wildlife Center as well as the chemical inventory project.  We have had lots of visitors at the center.  Sunday we had close to 200 people.   

We are enjoying warm weather this week.  I am liking that. 

Laugh everyday.  Happy trails.  Stay Safe.
