Our little streak of nice weather continued this morning in Estabrook Park, and so the sky was clear, and the temps were mild, but the stiff breeze out of the southwest suggests change is on its way.
The raptor de jour is this red-tailed hawk perched high over the northern island, right where the merlin was two days ago.
The great horned owl was “in” this morning, but not too deep.
Now that we have some sunlight, it really makes the color of the mallard drakes pop when they hold their head just right.
The gray catbird by the pond was also “in”, but hiding way deep and keeping quiet today.
Finally, with the warm-up, the big flock of house finches by the pond has dispersed, for now, but there were still a couple around, and here’s one.
