I had the cherished opportunity recently to visit the Bear
River Migratory Bird Refuge up in Brigham City Utah.

What are they? Their mission statement says:
Bear River Migratory Bird Refuge lies in northern Utah, where
the Bear River flows into the northeast arm of the Great Salt Lake. The
Refuge protects the marshes found at the mouth of the Bear River; these marshes
are the largest freshwater component of the Great Salt Lake ecosystem.
Since these marshes are in turn surrounded by arid desert lands, it is little
wonder that they have always been an oasis for waterbirds and wildlife.
So
in other words they love nature, they really love birds and try to provide
birds with pristine hospitality.
The visitor center is filled with avid bird
lovers who are anxious to answer any questions you may have about the world’s
fowls.
While
I was there I saw this display which really cracked me up. I got such a big
kick out of it I had to take a picture of it.
Here
is a close up of the plaque.
Can
you see the irony that I found in this display?
Haha! Nice!
