Riverlands Migratory Bird Sanctuary

1/19/2014

The Riverlands Migratory Bird Sanctuary is a self-interpretive visitor center, museum, and wildlife area near the confluence of the Mississippi and Missouri rivers. It represents the joint efforts of the Army
Corps of Engineers and the Audobon Society, and presents the ecological importance of the Central Flyway for migratory birds.

On this sunny day, we made a last minute road trip as an excuse to spend time outside in warm (relatively speaking) temperatures and in the bright sunshine.

We saw flocks of different gulls, many species of ducks and geese, and two eagles sitting in a tree on the other side of the water.

We stayed until the sun set, and I captured this image of two visitors watching the birds as they began to fly in and settle for the evening.

At a pond farther down the road,
this pair of trumpeter swans flew in and landed.
The sun had already set,
and I barely had enough light to grab this picture just before I packed my camera away for the trip home.

    This is my place for daily images that represent memories.

    I will try to "focus" on the best each day.
