What a beautiful day for traveling. We rode to the Wheeler Wildlife Refuge in Decatur, where we saw many Sandhill Cranes and several different kinds of ducks at the Visitor's overlook buildings.
The newly remodeled Museum was opened. There we saw Sandhills, & Whooping Cranes, Belted kingfishers, Snakes, Alligators, Geese, ducks, hawks, butterflies, otters, Northern Flickers, and many other animals.
Several empty displays are waiting to be added. We saw several friendly people. I guess they were happy to be outside after this last cold spell.

We stopped at Logan's Roadhouse for lunch. Hubby ordered a salad, steak, and baked potato. I ordered a chicken salad with Roadhouse dressing.

On our way home we saw a Bald Eagle on a Paul Bunyan Power Line near the demolished Paper Mill in Town Creek.
The eagle made a squawking sound when it saw me. It was letting me know to leave. |
We saw several terns perched on the light poles as we crossed Wheeler Dam. |
Our last stop was Wheeler Dam where we saw a few White Pelicans, terns, and many cormorants.
