So, this is the first full day of spring according to the calendar.
You could have fooled me! We woke up to a skiff of snow, and had to break out the gloves and hat to get for our walk. There was nothing over at the log bay…
heading back the sun broke through the clouds for all of 60 seconds. This whole area was alive with Black-cap Chickadees, Golden Crowned Kinglets and Song Sparrows…none co-operative for a picture.
just off from the viewing platform there was a male Red-wing Blackbird calling. The big flock that has been wintering with us seems to have broken up. The females should be arriving back any day now so the males are busy staking out territories.
over at my end there were actually 2 pair of Canada Geese, 1 pair above although one managed to duck just as I took the picture, and also this Great Blue Heron….
here is a better picture of the goose pair – they were grazing on the fresh grass shoots…
and the Heron….not sure what he was doing….huddled up against the next wave of hail that moved through I guess…can’t count how many times the ground has turned white with hail so far today….but sun is in the forecast – or so they say!
