Montezuma Wildlife Refuge





Last Sunday, we finally took a trip to Montezuma Wildlife Refuge. It's a trip I've wanted to make for a few years. Unfortunately, we didn't get there early morning or late afternoon like the site recommends so we saw just a whole lot of different ducks and a whole lot of Canada geese. Don't get me wrong! They were beautiful! I was hoping to see a variety of other birds too like herons. You've heard the expression "ostrich with it's head in the sand?" Is that kinda like the goose above? lol It was really funny because there were actually three geese at one point, all with bottom's up. Too cute! We did see a lot of tree swallows too, swooping around here and there. There is also at least one trail that you could walk but with two 13-year-old girls knowing we'd be going to the nearby Waterloo Outlets after we were done here, there was no way I'd even THINK of broaching the subject of walking a trail. lol It was a wonderful warm spring day and lots of walking was done at the outlets. lol
