A Visit to Ottawa National Wildlife Refuge

 I decided to head down to Ottawa today.  It has been a while since I've been there as well.

I think this is a Slider and not a painted turtle but I'm not sure.  I like the picture well enough, I just wish I didn't have grass in the way.

A heron.  This was a better angle than I first saw.

I was able to get a few shots of him.

Just none fishing.

Seems like there is always an eagle here.

It's pretty cool and I wonder if they are off the endangered list yet.

It seems like they should be but still protected.

And I was able to catch this egret flying.

One more shot.

Another heron.

And another egret.

Again, I like this shot well enough, I just wish the grass wasn't in the way.

A tundra swan family.

Another shot.

I assume this is just the mom.

A group of egrets.

I like this shot.

And I leave you with a heron.
