Beautiful day

Definitely the nicest day of the year so far!

Beautiful day

What a treat to get up to clear blue skies with just a few white puffy clouds off in the distance.

Goose pair

Bird wise it wasn’t much different from the day before, just the one pair of Canada Geese

Spotted Towhee

Spotted Towhee ‘trilling’….a few Red-wing Blackbirds calling, some Black Capped Chickadees poking about down in the shrubs, Robins about…

Heron in pond way over

The young heron was over in that little pond today.  There were a couple of Tree Swallows flying around but still not settling enough for a picture…also some Purple Finch singing their lovely song, but too high up to get a picture.

Heron and female Mallard

a mature Great Blue Heron just off the first bay (you can tell by the fringe of feathers on the breast), along with some Mallard – a female  in this picture….

Song Sparrow

captured a Song Sparrow at the wood pile this morning, but we are still waiting for that first hummingbird – or anything else exciting like a Yellow-rump Warbler or Ruby Crowned Kinglet or, or, or!
