Our recent string of beautiful weather seems to have run its course, and it is cloudy and windy this morning in Estabrook Park. Oh, sure, I’ll go take a look, but I don’t have high expectations, so let me show you a couple more images from Zion National Park.
First, there were several canyon wrens about, and here’s one that had caught a nice big fly and was hopping around and calling in apparent hopes that someone, probably not me, would notice.
The one hermit thrush I saw seemed to be searching for something or someone, and after posing on the branch I already showed you, it hopped up to a higher perch for a better look. The pink background is caused by the colorful sandstone of the canyon wall.
Finally, here’s one more canyon wren who just happened to be in the right place at the right time.
If I do see anything today, I’ll be sure to show you tomorrow.
Signs of Life in Estabrook Park 
It was probably quite muddy. We walked across the north soccer field and took the river path west under the Port Road and I43 up to Hampton, then crossed to the golf course at Lincoln. Birds we saw or heard: cardinals, Black Capped Chickadees, Robins, Hairy Woodpecker, geese, ducks, an Oriole nest and the Eagle standing in her nest. Thanks for the Canyon wren photo, it brings back memories of time spent living in Arizona and Utah.
