While I’m traveling today, let me show you some of the babies we got to welcome into Estabrook Park last year.
The first ones came in March, when I started to see the amazing great horned owlets, although I had to keep them under wraps until the end of May. Sorry about that.
In April, we had seven darling goslings on the pond, and here they are with Mom and Dad up on the lawn.
In May, my old buddy Mike found us that hummingbird nest during our weekly wildlife walk, and even though there are no chicks yet, this is still my favorite image from that whole amazing series.
At the end of June, we saw a fresh-looking brood of wood duck ducklings on the river with their mom.
Early in July, our first brood of ducklings, mallards this time, appeared on the pond.
Finally, in mid-July, here’s a doe and her young fawn on the upstream island in the river.
I can hardly wait to see who we get to welcome this year!
