Below: Lee and Karen Duquette stopped to
learn more about the birds and the Ohio Bird Sanctuary |
 |
 |
Below: Lee and Karen Duquette
entered the building and each were give a small cup of mealworks to
hand feed the aviar residents along the way. |
 |
 |
Below: Lee and Karen Duquette
took a walk along the cages that held the birds. However, none of the
photographs taken of the birds came out very well, because the photos
were taken through a wire cage. Plus many of the birds were in the very
back of the cages. So Karen Duquette just kept a photo of the signs
on the cages and discarded any actual bird photos she took. They found
this to be a big disappointment. |
