As I mentioned yesterday, I’m traveling today to support the UWM ASME Human Powered Vehicle student organization I advise, as they take their vehicle to an in-person competition this weekend for the first time since before the pandemic. Hurray for them!
Anyway, it looks gorgeous outside as I type this, but I don’t dare take the time to venture into Estabrook Park, so here are a few pictures I haven’t shown you yet. In addition to all the mergansers, our resident horned grebe was still on the river yesterday, and here it is, before the sun came out from behind the clouds, taking a moment to maintain those feathers.
And here’s another look at the belted kingfisher at the pond, from the side this time so you can see some of that rusty belly band that marks her as a she.
Finally, the day was so pretty yesterday afternoon, I took a moment to check on the great horned owl I showed you last week, and she’s still parked on her nest. I sure hope we get to see a fuzzy little face poking out from there soon.
Okay, that’s all I’ve got for today, and I hope to have something to show you from Texas by tomorrow. Wish me luck!
