Spring Hodgepodge

It's undeniably spring when you start to see the ducks and warblers making their way back. Our excursion this week was a driving tour of the Central Flyway. We started in South Dakota, where we saw many, many ducks hunkered down in the prairie pots along the road between Sioux Falls and Pierre. Then downward through the grasslands and into the Nebraska Sandhills we went, a beautiful and pristine landscape (not a cow in sight). Then finally across to Omaha, where we happened upon the hidden gem of Fontenelle Park before circling back home through Sioux City and Albert Lea.
