Brig

The last weekend before I reentered the workforce (very sad) we took a trip to the Edwin B. Forsythe National Wildlife Refuge, aka Brig.

Known for the large number of waterfowl and shore birds that congregate there, as can be seen in the image below, we looked forward to a fun day of birding.

Birdless Brig

Hmmm ...

One of the target species, which Patty had already dipped on, was the White Pelican, of which a several had been visiting. Spoiler alert, we did not find them.


We did see a Northern Raccoon out and about. Somewhat unusual behavior.

Finally some birds!


Snow Buntings, which Patty is blocking traffic to photograph.


After which we headed to the Smithville Inn where I enjoyed my new favorite beer in celebration.

A good day after all.
