The fine weather trend continued this morning in Estabrook Park, with calmer winds, warmer air, and about the same mostly-blue sky. It was warm enough that I even heard a cicada make one more valiant effort to attract a mate. I’m mostly over my jet lag, so I was able to get into the parkContinue reading “More regulars return, and a new face finally shows up….”

Several mid-July surprises…
As forecast, the cool and dry air we’ve enjoyed in Estabrook for the past couple of days has moved on, and it was warmer and rainier in the park today. The air has remained nearly still, however, and with non-holiday, early Saturday traffic, it was wonderfully quiet this morning. My first treat of the dayContinue reading “Several mid-July surprises…”
A new behavior, and maybe a new face…
It was a super nice morning in Estabrook Park, with mild temps, mostly clear skies, and nearly still air. Once the channel 12 news helicopter was done reporting on an early-morning traffic tie-up on I-43 north, things really quieted down, and I could even hear the blue-grey gnatcatchers calling softly. Before we get to theContinue reading “A new behavior, and maybe a new face…”

Here’s a picture of a least sandpiper, who was kind enough to visit again, that I think best captures the mood in Estabrook Park this morning. Fortunately, the fog eventually dispersed a bit, so I was able to get a picture of ourContinue reading “The fog thickens…”
October keeps up the pace…
The beautiful weather continues, and it was another wonderful morning in Estabrook Park. My first greeter today was this beaver on its way home after a night upriver chewing on bark. From the river, I headed to the pond and was thrilled to get one more chance to photograph a red-breasted nuthatch. They are stunners,Continue reading “October keeps up the pace…”
Gettin’ a real soakin’ at the park
The skies are so dark, the streetlights are still on, and so there ain’t gonna be no new pictures today. Instead, I’m sure all the critters at the pond will be thrilled to have the day off for a change. Anyway, just to tide you over, here are a couple images from Estabrook that didn’tContinue reading “Gettin’ a real soakin’ at the park”
