It was a little warmer and a little breezier this morning than yesterday in Estabrook, so there was no frost on the grass this time. The sky was just as clear, though, so it made for some pretty pictures, and the issue that kept websites from working yesterday appears to have been resolved, so IContinue reading “The internet is back, and so is the sun…”

First Frost!
Sorry this is so late, but there was an issue with certain websites on the internet today, which you may have heard about, that prevented me from uploading any pictures earlier today. Anyway, it was a very nice, if chilly morning, in Estabrook Park for our weekly wildlife walk. The temperature was 40°F at sunrise,Continue reading “First Frost!”
It’s finally starting to feel like fall…
Since it was raining pretty good when the sun came up this morning, and the big green blob on the radar was forecast to take its sweet time drifting out of the area, I took the morning off to run some errands. At around 10:30, I noticed that it was starting to look dry-ish outside,Continue reading “It’s finally starting to feel like fall…”
October continues to surprise..
I could hear it raining this morning as I waited for the sun to rise, but the clouds dried up by the time it was light enough for me to venture out. Plus, the winds were light, and the air was probably warmer than seasonal, so it was a great morning for all the plannedContinue reading “October continues to surprise..”
Another first of the season, and perhaps a last…
It was cloudy and windy this morning in Estabrook, but at least temps were mild for the season, and it wasn’t raining. These conditions made it a little tricky to find photogenic subjects, but the park still delivered anyway. I found this little cutie, our first eastern bluebird of the month, just as I wasContinue reading “Another first of the season, and perhaps a last…”
A fine showing for the middle of autumn
The rain was taking a break this morning, the temps were mild for October, the breeze was light, the sun was duking it out with the clouds, and it wasn’t clear who was going to win, at least for a while, so it was a very nice time to go looking for wildlife in Estabrook.Continue reading “A fine showing for the middle of autumn”
A fine morning, despite the radar picture…
It was another rainy morning in Estabrook Park, but not as rainy as the big green blob on the radar suggested, so I gave it a try after about an hour delay. By then the precipitation had stopped, the air was nearly still, and I just about had the park to myself, people-wise, that is.Continue reading “A fine morning, despite the radar picture…”
It was nice while it lasted…
It started out cloudy, and the clouds are back again, but there was a moment in Estabrook Park this morning when the sky was clear and the sun shone brightly. Plus, the temps were pretty mild, especially in the sun, and the winds were lighter than I feared, so it was a very nice timeContinue reading “It was nice while it lasted…”
Some afternoon delights…
I’m sorry this is coming out so late, but I was tied up in the morning, didn’t get into Estabrook until noon, then had a meeting on campus, and here we are. The good news is that I was pleasantly surprised by how much wildlife there was to see in the park that late inContinue reading “Some afternoon delights…”
Are they green, or are they blue?
As I suggested yesterday, I did ride down to Lakeshore State Park this morning to join the Milwaukee Birders again. There was a stiff breeze coming off the lake, so thank goodness temps were milder than they’ve been recently. When I spotted this little cutie, I got all excited because the white-ish bib and collarContinue reading “Are they green, or are they blue?”
