It was cloudy and breezy this morning in Estabrook Park, but the air was warm, and the clouds were not leaking, so not a bad time to visit. All eight goslings were still at the pond, but one seemed to prefer lying down while grazing, compared to its siblings. At least it was grazing, and here’s hoping that it’s just a temporary preference and not some sign of a deeper problem.
There were plenty of other birds about, and I counted 50 different species, my most for the year so far, but none wanted their picture taken today. In fact, the only picture I managed to capture is of this American coot, and you can see how even it is hustling for cover. Oh well.
Welp, let’s hope for better luck next time.
