An oddly slow morning in March

It was a pretty morning in Estabrook Park, even if the temps were seasonably cool, but the interesting pictures were few and far between, for some reason. In fact, the only one I took was of this dark-eyed junco by the pond.

Luckily, I have some shots left over from previous days, and here’s another chipmunk from yesterday keeping a wary eye on me from the safety of a pile of sticks.

Here’s another look at the Cooper’s hawk from yesterday with the chipmunk that it had just caught.

Finally, the red-breasted merganser was still on the pond today, but I have one more picture from when it was posing so nicely for us on Thursday, and here it is.

Here’s hoping for some better luck tomorrow.
