Farmington Bay

Wednesday I took my cub scouts (and Ryan – not yet an official cub scout) to Farmington Bay. The last time our family was there (for Bald Eagle Day), we drove around on snow-packed roads. Wednesday was a beautiful Spring day. The snow had melted and the weather was warm.

We started with a presentation by the wildlife conservation officer, then spent some time viewing birds through binoculars and scopes from the viewing deck. We again had the opportunity to drive around the bay to view all of the birds closer to the water. We saw about a dozen different types of birds, and the boys loved it.

I took a bunch of pictures, but these are my two favorites.
