On Monday October 13 we headed out to Waubay National Wildlife Refuge. We started out pretty early heading west to South Dakota. Once we were there it didn't take long before we were seeing wildlife. At our first stop, we saw a juvenile Bald Eagle, a couple of pairs of Northern Shovelers, and a Northern Shrike (a new species for us and one we've been wanting to see for a long time).

After that we headed to the visitors center where we started to walk the trails we were there to hike. There we saw Downy Woodpecker, American Robins, Dark-eyed Juncos, White-throated Sparrow, Mallards, Canadian Geese, Yellow-rumped Warbler, Common Checkered-skipper, Northern Flicker, White Breasted Nuthatch, Garter Snake, Black-capped Chickadee, Blue-winged Teal, and Wooly Bear Caterpillar.

This wasn't our first time to this wonderful Wildlife Refuge, and it probably won't be our last. Our time spent here is always fun and adventurous. Looking forward for our next time here.

Happy snapping!
