I took a summer job at Arrowwood National Wildlife Refuge near Pingree, ND doing belt transect work for the USFWS. It was a great job and I learned so much about the prairie ecosystem! Arrowwood setup a blind near some grouse mating areas, and it was open to the public. I went there with some coworkers a few times and got some great pictures, like this one. It was a bad crop, but I just didn’t have a long enough lens at the time.
