It was a nice-enough morning in Estabrook Park, but it appears that most of the resident critters have already split for the Memorial Day weekend. Thus, I am sorry to say that there was no sign of either the mallard or wood duck ducklings on the pond, and the bluebirds were not in the usual spot. All I could find were a few stragglers.
Here’s an eastern cottontail just before it started hopping down that bunny trail.
And here’s a wild turkey, which some of you may have in your own backyards right now, but we don’t get to see very often in the park.
There were still a few warblers in the trees and bushes, but with my backup lens, I don’t have much hope of getting any pictures for you. I did receive word that my good lens has arrived at the service center, so here’s hoping they can fix it up quick and send it back here soon.
