But I do know exactly when I’ll be back again. Anne’s been off with her sister visiting their niece for a week, and when you read this, I’ll be just about there to join them for a few days. Instead of simply saying where, here’s a picture of a duck I hope to see. CanContinue reading “Leaving on a Jet Plane…”

Back to “early” spring weather…
Flickr was having problems this afternoon, so if the pictures don’t come through, wait a while and try again later. That’s what I had to do just to get them into this post. After the crazy warm-up yesterday afternoon, some normality has returned to the weather this morning, but before it did, I got toContinue reading “Back to “early” spring weather…”
March like this isn’t hard to take…
We had a gorgeous March morning for our weekly wildlife walk in Estabrook Park. The wind was blowing pretty good, but the temps were mild, and the sun was out, so it was very comfortable. After hitting the pond, which was pretty quiet, we headed down to the river, and the first great sight ofContinue reading “March like this isn’t hard to take…”
A big morning at the lake front…
Whatever that crazy weather system was that gave us all that fog and rain for days has finally moved on, and there was hardly a cloud in the sky today. It’s also the second Sunday of the month, so time for the Milwaukee Birders to visit Lakeshore State Park, and I thought it might beContinue reading “A big morning at the lake front…”
It’s hard to hide a schnoz like that…
I wrote this yesterday morning, but I somehow failed to publish it, and I only just found it now. Ugh! The first line of thunderstorms has now rolled through, so the fog has thinned out a bit, but boy, it sure was thick earlier this morning. As luck would have it, our latest visitor choseContinue reading “It’s hard to hide a schnoz like that…”
A foggy, foggy day…
Well, we got our wish, assuming you had your fingers crossed as I did mine, and the rain mostly held off this morning. But you know the old saying, “be careful what you wish for.” Instead of falling as rain, the moisture stayed in the air, and we’ve been enjoying a crazy thick fog everContinue reading “A foggy, foggy day…”
Another sure sign of spring…
We had a nearly perfect March morning in Estabrook Park today. The sky was clear, the air was still, and it froze overnight but temps were quickly on their way to the 40s, which I hear is good for making the sap flow. Anyway, sorry about missing yesterday. I had a string of non-park activitiesContinue reading “Another sure sign of spring…”
Blue skies return, at least for a day…
It was another wonderful morning in Estabrook Park but in a very different way than yesterday. Instead of fresh snow, we had blue skies and bright sunshine. The skies were so clear, in fact, that there was enough light for me to venture into the park before 6:30 am, for the first time this year.Continue reading “Blue skies return, at least for a day…”
March eases in like a little white lamb…
It was a wonderful morning in Estabrook Park. Everything had a fresh coating of light and fluffy snow, the air was cold and still enough to keep it that way, at least for a couple of hours, and the sun poked through the clouds every once in a while. What a way to start theContinue reading “March eases in like a little white lamb…”
