Tundra Swans

It is such a joy to see our children’s faces light up when they do something by themselves or see something that they like. So on Saturday we went up to Bingham City to take a look at the Tundra Swan. Isabelle just loves birds, or all animals for that matter. I figured that she would enjoy seeing the swans and other birds at the refuge.

We took a two hour car tour of the refuge to check out our winged friends. At one point it was a bit of a struggle as Isabelle was ready to see something different but since it was a tour, we had to wait in line. Now we did not go prepared to see the birds, and what I mean is that I did not have any binoculars to see the birds with. For some reason I thought that they would be much closer and we could see them just fine. I think this is the first time since I have had my telephoto lens that I have been disappointed in it.

Either way we did get a chance to see a few birds but nothing up close to where we could identify what they were. Barrett just went along for the ride, and had a good time moving about the car. But I think he would have liked it to have been a little more fast paced. Oh well! At least Isabelle had some fun, and got a chance to check out some new birds. After all we are not “birders.”
