Today’s Refuge Wildlife Photos

Scroll down to content

It has been a few days since we got out and walked, but an 80 degree morning and not too many visitors to the refuge made for a good short walk around the impoundments with our cameras today.

Between Ken’s photos and mine we managed to get a few to satisfy my need for perfection, even though the baby hawks weren’t visible in the nest and the Sandhill Cranes have moved on.

Normally I wouldn’t post a blog of a single walk/photos, but a friend asked me to keep the wildlife photos coming, so here they are!

Ken and I travel full-time in our motor coach throughout the United States. We have traveled along the Gulf of Mexico down to Key West and from Key West north along the East Coast all the way to Bar Harbor, Maine. We spent seven months in Southwest Texas right on the Rio Grande and from there we traveled to the North Rim of the Grand Canyon before heading back to our home state of Missouri. After a brief visit with family and friends we headed back to Florida and then we volunteered at the Okefenokee National Wildlife Refuge in Southeast Georgia. The story didn’t end there because as of this writing we have visited all except three states. We went to Glacier National Park, Yellowstone, the Grand Tetons, and Death Valley National Park. We have continued our volunteer service by adding another winter at Okefenokee, a short stint at Bon Secour, and a winter at A.R.M. Loxahatchee NWR. Summer 2020 finds us in the Missouri Ozarks and we are still loving life. We have much more in store, so please stay tuned as we continue to travel across this beautiful country of ours!

  2. Hi,
    Wow, that turtle photo is fantastic! We love getting your photos also! They are always awesome.
    I’m sure you two are staying put, we are also. We’ve been working in the yard a lot.
    We’re working on taking the pool and deck out and replacing both. When I say we, you know
    I mean Jerry is doing the “hard stuff”…ha. It’s hard work for an old lady, but I figure it’s good exercise.
    Stay well.
