The cloudy skies that we’ve been enjoying every morning in Estabrook Park lately, finally gave us a break today, and I got to see the sun as soon as it came over the horizon for a change. It appears that I wasn’t the only one to have been missing it either, because this green heron on the pond seemed for all the world to be just as enthralled by it as I was.
We had a good showing for the wildlife walk, both at 7am and again at 8am, and each group got good looks at the red-headed woodpecker that has been hanging around lately. Here it is being a little coy, and …
here it is just about posing for a portrait. I sure hope it can get comfortable with the attention it’s attracting and stick around for the summer.
Finally, just about when the two groups of walkers merged, we learned that the sandpipers and killdeer on the river had a special guest today, our first lesser yellowlegs of the year. “Hello, Sweetie! Where’ve you been all spring?”
That’s all I have for today, and I could dig back into the pile of pictures from Africa, but they can wait for another day, and I’m gonna get back to a family event instead.
