A Sunday visit to Parker River and Plum Island

Posted on by Donna Ardizzoni

We love walking Parker River Refuge.  The exercise is great, and the scenery is beautiful.  We did see the Barred Owl, but this owl was hiding in the trees so no photos, I tried but this beautiful bird was having none of it.  The Coyote was way out in the marsh just sitting there with ducks.
