Besides the lightshow this morning, which wasn’t actually too frightening, thankfully, there was plenty of rain, too, so I didn’t get into the park until a couple of hours after sunrise. Happily, most folks were held off by the weather as much as I was, so there were still some critters going through their morning routine by the time I arrived.
One of them was the female belted kingfisher, whom we’ve already seen a couple of times at the river, and I’ve glimpsed at the pond, but I believe this is the first time I’ve gotten a picture of her at the pond this year.
Of all days that I would have guessed that the screech-owl was in its nook, today would be a leading contender. I know I sure would like that kind of protection from pouring down rain, and apparently, it does, too. Or, it’s just a big coincidence, and it would have been there even if it were 60°F and sunny. Either way, I find its picture hard to resist.
The rest of the critters must have made other plans in my absence, so that’s it for pictures today, except for these snow drops, in Estabrook this time, who can’t get away because they’re plants.
