Basket Slough

Several weeks ago, the boys and I took a drive to a nearby Wildlife Preserve called Basket Slough. The reasons for going many: it was beautiful outside; it is one of the many things that we needed to check off in Christian's Cub Scout book; we can make another stop at their Great-Grandparents' who live just a few minutes away from there; it is just a cool nearby place to go and see some amazing animals. I have been meaning to post pictures about it since and I figured I had better do it before I forget!

This is a picture of a bald eagle eating a duck. There was a couple there before us that actually saw it swoop down and pluck it out of the water. I took this through the big telescope that is there for people to use... Looking out at the ducks... The moon and clouds
and the moon through the telescope (no cropping or photo fixing)

We had a lot of fun... it ended up being cold and we got back home WAY later than we should have, but it was very cool and we WILL be going back!
