The Adventure Continues

Lostwood National Wildlife Refuge

Today was a day to make miles. We are headed to visit my cousins in Minnesota the state of my birth. I lived here for the first ten years of my life and many of my relatives still live here. So it was pretty much a break from birding today although I always have one eye out for birds. We did see two Tundra Swans on a pond as we flew by on I 94 .

11 striped ground squirrel
