Backyard bird count

And for the second half of the day, we were at and in the vicinity of the
wildlife refuge. Tom and Kathy helped us spot all the woodpeckers. We saw
the whooping cranes, but just barely. They were so far away we couldn't
really tell what they were, but the ranger confirmed the sighting for us.
