Earth Day at San Bernard National Wildlife Refugee

Lucy, Grace and I celebrated Earth Day at Migration Celebration event at San Bernard Wildlife Refuge.... There were lots of activities for all ages and it is all free of charge. We saw an excellent program on "Birds of Prey" that included the magnificent Andean Condor and the amazingly fast Peregrine Falcon, Marsh Buggy ride around the wetlands where we saw about seventy alligators, encountered butterflies in the butterfly tent, and hiked the Bernard Oak trail.  Awesome fun day with the oldest granddaughters....
