Shiawassee Wildlife Auto Tour

We went out Curtis Road to the Shiwassee Wildlife Preserve yesterday afternoon after seeing a news story that we could drive through the area now. It had been closed for repairs to the trail that kept washing out when it rained and because an eagle's nest was in a tree by the road. However no eagles used the nest this year.

It was great - it took almost an hour driving 15 miles an hour.. The Galaxy did not take good enough pictures to post. We will take the camera out and take lots of pictures - you have to be able to zoom in on the birds.

We saw so many egrets, great blue herons, goldfinches, swans, ducks, turtles and butterflies. The drive was beautiful. We will go there often while it is open through October 25th.
