A good friend of mine and I decided to meet Saturday afternoon and take a drive through the Sherburne National Wildlife Refuge on the wilderness drive. As we drove the 9 mile course we saw eagles, hawks, blue jays, trumpeter swans, sparrows, and my first of the year dark eyed juncos. I also saw a leopard frog jumping across the road. I jumped out of the car to catch it but I was too slow. I only wanted to catch it and take a photo. Some of the grass was taller than my head. The oak savanna had a savage beauty despite the cloudy skies and the cold wind. The wind actually helped add to the beauty because it gave movement and texture to the landscape.
