Whew! It has been a crazy couple of weeks. My house is under contract and now I need a new place to live. So that has been taking up lots of my time. But finally I felt like I had some time to go out photographing. So I was out of the house by 5:30am and headed down to my favorite spot.
First I spotted a family of canada geese...so cute and they are getting big!
They came up on land right in front of me....
After enjoying the geese, I went looking for momma wood duck and her young. I walked by these beautiful flowers and just had to grab a pic!
It was pretty quiet until I got around to the east side of the pond. A kingfisher sat on top of the gazebo posing for me......
He flew over to the cormorant island and was doing some fishing. I was able to catch him in mid flight......
Here is a comorant family...mom,dad and two babies.......
Then I spotted some eggs on the island. Look like canada goose eggs. Guess they do not feel the need to build a nest......
I was watching some young mallards swim around and this cinnamon teal came by....
I love the spotted sand pipers and they were all over. Finally got a nice pic of one.....
A snowy egret showed up but was too far off to get a good pic.....
I never get tired of seeing cute ducklings.....
It was already getting hot and it was time to go home. But I decided to stop by prospect park on the way home. It was pretty quiet all around and it was hot but I decided to see if the owls were around. The owlets have been out of the nest for at least a month, so they could be any where. But I figured it was worth a shot. Ha! My owl radar was working today! I spoptted two of them sitting together and mom was close by......
Whew! It felt so good to get out and do some photographing.........
Enjoy!
