Our recent dry patch got even nicer this morning with temps in the 40s instead of the 30s. Plus the wind was pretty light, and the sky was pretty clear, so it was a fine time for seeing wildlife in Estabrook Park. The first treat came when our on-again-off-again green heron by the river wasContinue reading “Ahhh. Our dry-out even warms up…”
