Today I joined the Missouri River Valley Paddlers on DeSoto. The picture above is showing American Lotus going dormant for the winter.
We got real close to pelicans a few times. They're beautiful large birds. We also saw: osprey, king fishers, cormorants, great blue heron and a bald eagle. I think it was the first time I'd seen an osprey. I wasn't sure they were osprey at the time but after looking at a few pictures and seeing they're listed on the DeSoto bird checklist, I'm positive. We saw a few with fish hanging off their talons.

It sounds great! It's good you could go before the Refuge closed for the winter.
