The #icicles were beautiful this morning along the Lake. I hope the next Bird Count day starts out warmer than 27 degrees! #imissflorida #ottawanationalwildliferefuge #LakeErie #icicles

We were working on the Bluebird Project today. Installing the bird houses at the Refuge was a Team Effort! The birds were checking them out as we worked our way across the entrance road. #postdriver #ottawanationalwildliferefuge #bluebirdhouse
