Sherburne NWR


Earlier this week, the interns went on a trip to Sherburne National Wildlife Refuge for one of our Hamline classes. It was lots of fun and the first trip where all of the interns were present. We had to pose and get a group picture in the "eagles nest."

While on the refuge, we got to see a TON of birds and prairie plants. As an extra bonus, our tour included several parts of the refuge that are closed for breeding season. Over the course of 5 or so hours we saw multiple bald eages, red tailed hawks, norther harriers, trumpeters and CRANES!! We saw 10 cranes in total and 1 was already painted for breeding! So much fun and probably one of my favorite intern outings so far :)
