Monday Fun!



This time of year is so much fun! Nests are built and the young are being born. So time is of the essence as they grow up so fast! So I decided to head back down to my favorite spot again. Sure, I was just there yesterday but things are changing fast......

The avocets were my first stop.......












Then one of the geese families posed for pics...





I started walking down the path and I spotted mallard ducklings!





Finally I pulled myself away and continued down the trail. I didn't have go very far to find my wood duck friends!



This sparrow is always in the same tree singing his heart out, so today I took his pic......


I was just about ready to leave when this cute rabbit posed for me......



I was having fun, so I decided to stop at Prospect Park on the way home. As I headed west on the trail I spotted this goose perched on the shelter. Too funny! I wonder if he thinks he's king of the hill!



Just past the geese was a cute pair of hooded mergansers. Check out that gigantic crayfish the male caught! He flipped it around a bit and swallowed it whole! Yum!




I continued on hoping to find the wood ducks. Bam! I found one of the males. I wonder if the female is on the nest???



I was headed back when I spotted this bullock's oriole. Finally! I see their nests all the time but never them. I was hoping he'd land in a good spot for a pic but this was all he gave me...

I knew the light was not good for owl pics but I decided to walk down the other trail to see them. The owlets are growing so fast. 



Momma was close by watching her young....



What a fun day! Thanks for reading!
