The weather hasn’t pranked me yet today, and it was a nice sunny morning in Estabrook Park. That let me get out nice and early, so I was able to spot this muskrat at the edge of the river, which we’ve seen plenty of times before.
But this is the first time I’ve managed to spot two of them together like this.
I’ve been seeing a kingfisher around lately, and even captured a picture by the river a few weeks ago, but this is my first picture of one over the pond for the year.
Finally, back at the river again, this is the very first horned grebe I’ve ever seen in Estabrook Park. I’ve seen one before at the South Shore Yacht Club, but this is a first for me in Estabrook.
Better yet, it caught a nice fish for breakfast. Ha!





Walking thru Estabrook Park is the enjoyment of my day. I would like to know what is digging up the lawn in areas throughout the park. Any idea who those fools are? Is it a bird? Squirrels? Opossums? ??? I’m not an early bird, nor do I have a keen eye for birds but I have learned so much from you. Thank you,Nancy

I wish I knew who, but I don’t. When it started in the fall, I that it might be bucks, but there’s no reason for them to be continuing with it now. I don’t believe I’ve seen it in previous years.
