Tiny victories…

I made it safely to Connecticut, and the weather is beautiful here, too, but the critters were pretty shy this morning.

I did spot three green herons at the same time spread out over the water were I spotted them nesting in the spring, so that’s a potential very good sign.

Near the end of my walk, I was thrilled to spot my first sandpiper in CT, this darling young solitary sandpiper.

Finally, atop the flagpole out in front of the old Ball and Socket Mfg. Co. building, these starlings had found an interesting perch.

And that’s it for today, I’m afraid. Wish me better luck for tomorrow.
