The beautiful weather continued this morning in Estabrook Park, and we only have a short drive to the in-laws for dinner, so I had a few minutes to slip in and take a look around.
The hoodie was not on the pond again, and may have finally taken off for the season, but the woodie was still there, so here he is.
I spotted a doe, but she had no time for me, so I continued on to the river.
The great horned owl was in this morning but in a slightly different spot, and I couldn’t get it to look our way today.
The belted kingfisher was back and busy at fishing. He kept switching directions on that perch, so I had my choice of poses today.
The gadwalls were back, and here’s the drake catching a bit of sunlight while the mallards around him stayed in the shade.
The big surprise this morning was when I heard the osprey calling, and just when I found it perched over the far riverbank, it took flight in reaction to a bald eagle gliding south over the river. The two chased each other a bit over the northern island, which was very exciting to see, and then the osprey took off, and the eagle perched near where the osprey had been.
Finally, here’s a little red squirrel enjoying an early start to its Thanksgiving feast.
