No more path

We are at that time of the year again.  There will be no more walks across the grasslands to the park....not until September or so, at least.

there is the 'path'.....this was taken this morning....it is now completely underwater in fact I'll be surprised if we can even see this by tomorrow.

We walked to the park today, the long way...

the log bay is filling up - Purple Martins were flying around along with the usual swallows - oh and speaking of swallows, saw the first Barn Swallows today as well.

here is looking the other way...

another first sighting....Brown Headed Cowbirds...

and finally....

American Goldfinch....I'd heard them, but this was the first I'd seen.

walked back to ....

the first bay....it is filling up too....

and here is looking back across where, up to a few days ago, we were walking.

one final photo - an American Robin with a mouthful of nesting material.
