The Big Trip Vol. 3: Turnbull Wildlife Refuge

While I was in Cheney, WA, Jeanie and Bob took me to visit the Turnbull Wildlife Refuge.


The beautiful view at the start of the trail.


Geese, swans and other waterfowl abound.





Jeanie and Bob!


Two curious river otters.


A close up...who is looking at who?


What a beautiful day for a hike!





This deer was checking us out - the deer there are so much bigger than the Sitka Blacktail Deer we have here!


We rested on a convenient log and posed for a picture.




Wild flowers were everywhere.


This moose was browsing.  We almost missed seeing her because they blend in so well.


These owlets refused to turn around for a picture.


It was a wonderful day!
