Wheeler Wildlife Refuge - 10/16/2010

This date was a great day at the Refuge. Plenty of bright sunshine to "burn" away the morning fog and a time for the youngsters to walk the paths with their Dads. The migratory birds are starting to come into the Refuge now.

This morning the Cornell Lab of Ornithology's Marshal Iliff visited the Refuge to help our local "birders" learn the tricks of this hobby and to promote their ebird web storage base for bird data and personal sighting re ords. Marshall conducted a "walkabout" with a group of the "faithful/novices" around the Refuge Vistors area helping them with the "tricks of the trade" and then some classroom time for learning the advantages of the ebird software. A couple of links I found interesting since I am a photographer and now a "birder" were: www.birds.cornell.edu; www.audubon.org; and www.ebird.org.

All in all a great day to the migratory season at Wheeler Wildlife Refuge.
