Tamarac National Wildlife Refuge

Today we visited the Tamarac National Wildlife Refuge near Tamarac, Minnesota. It was a gorgeous day and thoroughly enjoyed the day.

This refuge is home to a large population of nesting trumpeter swans. Habitat conservation efforts address species such as the nearly threatened golden-winged warbler, woodcock, and ring-necked ducks. 

We found the Trumperter Swans!
