So nice to see them again!



So nice to see them again!



Chilly and windy, but a lovely morning walk!




It seemed every box at Clinton State Park had a pair of tree swallows sitting on top ready to defend. It’s good to see them!

In all the years I’ve been visiting the wetlands, I have only seen river otters twice. I’ve been stalking the same area at the same time hoping for another glimpse, but I know they’re smarter than I am and probably right under my nose.

Brisk spring mornings are the best!




It seemed like muskrats were everywhere Friday morning. I missed out on getting pics of a couple doing a little frolicking in the water, but this one swam right past me.

I haven’t seen any yet this spring. This pic is from this time last spring, so any day now.

As the weather warms, I am seeing more great blue herons. Soon, the little blue herons and egrets will arrive, and if I’m lucky, I’ll get to see more ibis.

It seems like most of the time, crows are the ones doing the harassing, but this early spring morning, a blackbird decided he’d had just about enough.
