It has mostly clouded up by now, lunch time, but the skies were pretty clear, and the wind was calm again in Estabrook Park earlier today, so it was another in a nice string of gorgeous mornings. The critters seemed to be continuing their boycott, and I was composing a long list of excuses inContinue reading “Not who I expected to see…”

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…”
Another dry day in May…
The nice weather continued this morning in Estabrook Park, although the breeze did pick back up a bit, but not so much that I couldn’t hear the birds singing. There are still a few warblers hanging around, but none wanted to be in the pictures today. Instead, the red-breasted merganser was still out in theContinue reading “Another dry day in May…”
Summer weather eases back in…
It was a chilly morning in Estabrook Park, with temps in the high 40s, but the recent little cool snap appears to be winding down, the wind has also hit pause, and we’re due to hit 70°F this afternoon. Phew! The cool, still air made for a light fog over the warm river water, andContinue reading “Summer weather eases back in…”
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…”
A guy could get used to this weather…
Our recent string of beautiful mornings continued today with another exemplar edition, and the wildlife did its best to keep up. Before we get to this morning, however, let me show you this amazing little cutie that was kind enough to get my attention right as I hopped on the Oak Leaf trail to rideContinue reading “A guy could get used to this weather…”
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.”
A classic start to this holiday weekend…
Our recent cool snap in Estabrook Park continued this morning with temps right around 50° under a thick cloud cover, but at least the winds are starting to ease up. My first treat of the morning came at the falls, where it appears a pair of northern rough-winged swallows may be nesting. I’ve seen themContinue reading “A classic start to this holiday weekend…”
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!”
