Since I’ve started to sound like a broken record, I’ll spare you the weather report and get right to the action. Just as soon as I could see the soccer fields at the south end, and while it was still pretty dark out, I was stunned to find a couple of coyotes and a white-tailedContinue reading “Be still my heart!”

Trying to fill a gorgeous setting…
It was about as nice a morning in Estabrook Park as I could ask for, weather wise, with mild temps, still air, and clear skies, but the critters and I seem to be still adjusting to the new, post-migration, normal, because I really struggled to come up with pictures to reflect the pretty day. OneContinue reading “Trying to fill a gorgeous setting…”
Meteorological summer gets off to a fine start…
Meteorological summer kicked off this morning in Estabrook Park with cloudy skies, mild temps, and nearly still air. I sure could have used a bluer sky, but as a wise man once opined, two out of three ain’t bad. I had a little time before our 7am meet-up at the beer garden parking lot, soContinue reading “Meteorological summer gets off to a fine start…”
Spring reminds us that it’s not over yet…
Our recent string of pretty days continued in Estabrook Park this morning, but someone must have panicked about the warmth and flipped on the giant AC unit parked just a mile to our east, because we’ve had quite the cooldown compared to earlier in the week. The good news is that the sun is overContinue reading “Spring reminds us that it’s not over yet…”
The weekend weather gets even classicer.
When I left the house this morning, the forecast was calling for less than a 50% chance of rain, but I sure got more than 50% soaked. Given that this was on track to be our driest May ever, I guess that I should say “we needed the rain”, but couldn’t we have needed itContinue reading “The weekend weather gets even classicer.”
Glad to see it cranked to 11 again!
Once again, it was cool and dark in Estabrook Park this morning, but it didn’t feel as bad as the forecast led me to expect, and perhaps the weather even helped me see some of the wildlife I saw. The warblers continue to be thick as thieves, especially along the river, but there were plentyContinue reading “Glad to see it cranked to 11 again!”
Ahhh. Our dry-out even warms up…
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…”
Some nice sights, despite the fog…
It was a cool and foggy morning in Estabrook Park, but there wasn’t any rain for a change, so it was a fine time to see who has arrived lately. The first newcomer I spotted was this very shy green heron at the river. I actually glimpsed it already yesterday, but it wouldn’t let meContinue reading “Some nice sights, despite the fog…”
Nicaragua continues to deliver on day 3 …
It was another gorgeous morning in Granada, but Deb and I didn’t have much luck before breakfast today, so when she and Anne went to class, I went back to the river that had been so fruitful yesterday. There, I didn’t see any more species that were new to me, but I did finally getContinue reading “Nicaragua continues to deliver on day 3 …”
Day of the Deer…
The temps were mild, and the air was still, but the clouds were thicker than yesterday, and they even leaked a little bit, so the weather was a mixed bag this morning in Estabrook Park. The mosquitoes, however, were decidedly not mixed. Instead, they were just plain fierce, as though they were angry about beingContinue reading “Day of the Deer…”
