and with another wave of winter like weather that swept down the province, the snow melt has slowed so the water levels are heading back down....that whole drive had been under water until a few days ago...
and here is something interesting....
a Trumpeter Swan! It is a young one, doesn't appear injured or sick but definitely shouldn't be here this time of the year.
this Bald Eagle pair are nearly always in the vicinity of the 'eagle tree' by the viewing platform. Seems to me they were last year too, so not sure why they aren't nesting somewhere.
The Canada Goose pair remain hanging about our complex and the male Calliope Hummingbird is also still here.
This afternoon we got back to Harrison Bay for a walk. I'm pretty sure there was a Western Kingbird on a wire on the way there but can't be positive. It wouldn't be the first time one has been seen here during migration.
Canada Geese continue, this one enjoying the nice field....there was a male Goldfinch eating the dandelion seeds at the same place.
The two sitting on nests on pilings are still there, this being one of them, with daddy standing guard down below.
lot's of Tree Swallows....
including ones gathering nesting material off of the dike and the parking lot.
Something we hadn't seen for a while...
were Great Blue Heron - there were 3 of them today. Probably all last year youngsters.
this Bald Eagle was perched near the nest, where all is quiet so mom is probably still sitting.
the Black Hawthorne are in full flower now....
as are the Pacific Crabapples.
