We decided to try a morning walk over at Harrison Bay.....it has been a couple of days since we'd been there and the first thing we noticed was....
it is suddenly getting very green!
The second thing was....
the bay, is becoming a bay again....water levels are rising!
Bird wise things were pretty much the same....still some swans
and Canada Geese....looks like this pair are thinking of nesting on these pilings. There is another sitting on a nest further along.
numbers of Tree Swallows are increasing and today we saw a Violet Green Swallow as well.
think this is the male Bald Eagle....'mom' seems to be on the nest now.
managed a nice photo of a Northwestern Crow today....
and finally.....Dandelions in flower.
The most interesting thing this morning had nothing to do with birds or flowers though...
notice all that water....notice the log boom to the right of the photo...there is another just out of sight at the left, and up until this morning, there was one in the middle. We had noticed a log boom moving down the river with no tow boat in sight. Remember these were high and dry just a week or so ago....
by the time we got back to the parking lot, the free floating log boom had made it''s way this far and quite the crowd had gathered to watch it...
The ending was rather anti-climatic as it eventually came to a gentle rest against the railway bridge.
This evening marked the first 'evening' walk over to the park....
Beautiful! but hopefully by the time another month passes, this will be a lot wetter.
