No more park for a while

Well there will be no more walks over to the park for a while now....


Easter Sunday was the last day you could make it over there and even then it involved some wading.


here is the first bay, well on it's way to being full.....


as is the log bay.  A fair amount of bird activity over here...there was a male House Sparrow taking nesting material into one of the swallow nesting boxes...


there were a number of American Robins around,


also American Goldfinch.  Saw a number of Ruby Crowned Kinglets, and Rufous Hummingbirds..


not sure what this Common Raven found out in this patch of grass but it flew off towards the hillside with something fairly large in its mouth...


the most exciting find was this male Wood Duck, there had been a pair as well but they flew...hopefully they will find somewhere to nest again....Wood Ducks nest in tree cavities, which of course requires large dead trees to be left standing....they will also next in nesting boxes but no one has put any of those up in this area, at least not yet.
