Refuge Friday

A sunny morning at the refuge made it a perfect day to play.  I had a tennis ball with me so Molly retrieved and retrieved until I could easily see she was tiring out.
Lots of ducks, a few herons, a couple of Harriers, both Lesser and Greater Yellowlegs, Avocets, sea gulls, etc......
Enjoy!
