A Winter’s Look at ENWR (photos)

5 01 2009

You learn to appreciate the changes the weather gives us if you get out and take a look around. Sunday at the Erie National Wildlife Refuge (ENWR) the landscape had a very quiet beauty to it. If you like solitude and a place to get away from it all and see nature as it changes through the seasons, take a drive to the ENWR. Click on the About page to see the location of the refuge. I welcome any recent photos of birds, animals or landscapes taken in the ENWR and will post them here if you email them to me. I want to create pages by month and post the bird and animal sitings by me and others at the ENWR. Please email me at: afenwr@gmail.com

There is quite a contrast in the photos below compared to the lush greens of this blog’s header photo. Before you know it the area will be teaming with thousands of migrating birds and other animals.

That bench is so pleasant to sit on under those huge shade trees in the summer.
