Bird Sactuary

Thanks to Michigan State University, there is a little safe haven for wild birds! I've grown up going to the Bird Sanctuary since I was a little kid, attending camp, doing river walks, going to the other various places (all listed in the previous link), like the Dairy Farm (baby cows suck on fingers...it's gross, but sorta cool). It's a nice place to visit for a relaxing afternoon with waterfowl.

My nephew Jonathan loves to visit, so my mom and I packed up the stroller today to feed the geese and ducks with their buckets of corn. Jonathan's not really a fan of letting the trumpeter swans just jab their beaks out and eat out of your hand, but my mom and I bot do it like pros!
Here's my new friend, the trumpeter swan. Did you ever read The Trumpet of the Swan as a kid? Go buy it now!
Here we see the Australian Black Swan and their newborn babies...
Here's where the father black swan tried to attack me for taking pictures of his babies!
And there are also efforts to restore Michigan back to it's old prairie self: here ya go! I go from city to country in about 60 seconds!
