Scenes at the pond…

I didn’t have much time to visit Estabrook this morning, so this has gotta be a quick one.

House sparrows are “the most widely distributed wild bird,” and there are probably some right outside your window now, but this handsome devil was picking grass seeds out of the loose soil around the new park bench where the snapping turtle laid her eggs, so I figured, “why not take a picture?”

Just past the sparrow, this bullfrog was probably wondering where the nice warm sun had gone.

Finally, the wood ducks on the pond were settling down for their morning nap.

Tomorrow I expect to resume my regularly-scheduled program.
