The sun returns to Estabrook

First things first, the pair of canada geese and all 8 goslings are still doing fine. I checked on them yesterday afternoon, and the goslings were out munching on the grass in the drizzle. Today, they were all dried out and catching some zzzs in the sun. I also spotted a pair of cowbirds, whichContinue reading “The sun returns to Estabrook”

Rainy, rainy day in Estabrook Park

The hourly forecast does not dip below an 80% chance of rain all day today, the ducks will be loving it, I bet, the geese and goslings will at least enjoy the lack of visitors, and the pilgrims should be arriving any day now. Fortunately, I managed to visit the park again yesterday afternoon beforeContinue reading “Rainy, rainy day in Estabrook Park”

The first robin egg of spring in Estabrook

It was a foggy morning, so I was probably looking at the ground more than the sky, and that’s how I spotted my first robin egg of the spring just off the Oakleaf Trail. The 8 goslings all seemed healthy and were getting ready for their morning nap when I got to the pond. ThereContinue reading “The first robin egg of spring in Estabrook”

Swimin’ Laps in Estabrook Park Pond

On my way to the pond, as I was trying to take an artsy picture of bloodroot blossoms that are finally opening up fully, I happened to spot this female cardinal working on her nest just about 4 feet off the ground and 10 feet off the oakleaf trail. She’s camouflaged pretty good in there, eh? By the time I finallyContinue reading “Swimin’ Laps in Estabrook Park Pond”

‘Mazing Morning in Estabrook Park

First, and foremost, all eight (8) goslings were chasing their mom around and feasting on the grass beside the pond in the warm morning sun by the time I got there, so they survived another night. Phew! I’m not sure if they even go back to the island any more. Also in attendance were aContinue reading “‘Mazing Morning in Estabrook Park”

TGIF, or whatever day this is, in Estabrook

After yesterday morning’s truncated outing due to April showers, I went out again in the afternoon, as one does, to get in the steps I had missed earlier. Nothing much had changed since the morning, and I was heading back home, when I spotted what looked like a soda can down an embankment. I wasContinue reading “TGIF, or whatever day this is, in Estabrook”

Caught in the rain at Estabrook

Not a whole lot to report this morning. I had just gotten to the pond, just missed taking a picture of a wood duck up in a tree, just taken a picture of some creeping charlie blossoms, and the skies opened up. I waited out the worst of it under the leaning trunk of a huge willowContinue reading “Caught in the rain at Estabrook”

The morning after in Estabrook

Anne and I both slept so well, I suspect those beans we had last night were magic. Anyway, it was an interesting morning in the park. I was just sitting on a bench by the pond when the goose that was not on the nest started honking, but I couldn’t see what he (if only forContinue reading “The morning after in Estabrook”

Taco Tuesday at Estabrook Park

It was surprisingly cold, but that was the most noteworthy aspect of this morning’s excursion. Leaves were frozen to the litter I picked up. Later this afternoon I headed out again, the sun had warmed things up a bit, and I finally found a patch of trout lilies that have fully opened up. This isContinue reading “Taco Tuesday at Estabrook Park”
