Not sure where this month is going! Some home projects have kept us busy and when we do get out, there just hasn't been a whole lot to see, it is sort of that between season, waiting time.
We did get over to the dike this morning....
there was a definite 'change of season' thing happening...Way out in the field there were 70 some odd swans.....another couple of weeks and we won't be seeing them again until the fall. Meanwhile, over head, there were Tree Swallows flying about.
beautiful and calm out there....
this Song Sparrow was busy preening at the top of one of the shrubs. There were lots of robins and some Towhee as well, but it was as we were leaving to head home that we spotted this....
a Coyote, right near the road....
here is a better look at it. We know there are coyotes in the area of course, but not often that you see them, especially out in the open. Maybe it is disturbed by the construction activity taking place as Kilby does some upgrades.
Later we walked over to the park...
there were a number of robins and Varied Thrush....Varied Thrush are another species that will just quietly disappear during this month, not to be seen again until the fall.
