More like April down pours!!! Our walk was cut short today, or at least came to an abrupt end as the skies opened!
there were 3 Canada Geese in the log bay – and see how the lowest log is now almost completely submerged – the water is still rising!…I’ve been expecting Brewer’s Blackbirds to show up here as they have been here the last couple of years, and sure enough, today, just as the skies opened – I spotted a pair at the edge of the water but by then the camera was put away to keep it dry. A Northern Flicker was busy working on one of the pilings…..and there was a large flock of Black Cap Chickadees busy in the area of the cedar grove where we’d taken shelter for a bit in hopes the rain would stop.
I could see something white way out there on the water so just took one of those ‘hope for the best’ shots – it is obviously a swan but can’t see enough of it to see what kind….I’m thinking from the back shape possibly a Tundra and I’m wondering if it might be that lone one that was around a few months ago….most of the swans headed north several weeks ago, in fact the Swan Festival at Marsh Lake in Yukon is in full swing now.
