Perched on a post

Only one short walk in yet another very wet day.... but a few interesting things...


the first bay is gradually filling....


there was one Killdeer down there.

as we approached the log bay could hear quite the Canada Goose carrying on....


the pair that have been hanging about the log bay were both perched on pilings today...


the female was the noisiest and I noticed....


she was taking chunks of rotten wood from the top of the piling.  Could she possibly be making a nest?  It seems a precarious perch!  There are at least 2 other occupied nests on pilings closer to Harrison Bay, but those are groups of pilings, not a single one.  Guess time will tell what happens.


here is the mate, supervising....and look how green it is all of a sudden.  Everything is leafing out.

The last thing of note was....


this Northern Flicker....an inter-grade obviously as he has markings of both the Red-shafted and the Yellow-shafted.
