June gets off to a wet start…

The high pressure system that gave us such great weather in Estabrook Park over the past few days has finally drifted off, and we’ve got thick clouds and imminent rain this morning.

On my way to the pond to check on the ducklings, I stopped by the river and found this family of Canada geese whose seven goslings are starting to show adult plumage already.

I did see the ducklings at the pond but skipped the pictures today and continued back to the river. As I sat for a moment to see who I could find, look who just happened to swim by. The last beaver we saw was a lot farther south and back at the start of May. I’m glad to know they’re still around.
