Like the proverbial broken record, the recent gloomy weather in Estabrook Park just keeps repeating. Oh sure, the sun peeks through the thick grey clouds once in a while, it’s certainly not too cold, and it’s not always raining, but I could really go for some crystal-clear blue skies right about now, even if theyContinue reading “Waiting for the weather to change…”

Seems like they’re all up to something.
The thick cloud cover continued this morning in Estabrook Park, but it got a little cooler, and the air was almost still, so it was a pretty good time to check on the wildlife. I don’t know if she’s getting used to me, or she really wanted that fish she had just glimpsed, but theContinue reading “Seems like they’re all up to something.”
Someone new for November…
The weather this morning in Estabrook Park was similar to yesterday’s, but the clouds held their water, and I didn’t feel a drop. I took a slightly different route this today and so reached the river a bit sooner and a bit downstream of where I normally would, which turned out to be just theContinue reading “Someone new for November…”
A warm November rain…
The clouds were thick over Estabrook Park this morning, but the temps were unseasonably mild, the breeze was light, and the rain appeared to have stopped. In fact, the forecast called for a 15% chance of rain and the radar looked clear. Anne and I have learned, however, especially while bicycle touring, that the “15%”Continue reading “A warm November rain…”
Just a few odd ducks.
It was cool, cloudy, and breezy this morning in Estabrook Park. The sun often barely even made a bright spot in the dim grey sky, and if it had been 15°F cooler, I would have sworn that it was threatening to snow. Alas, there’s none of that in the forecast for quite a while. AContinue reading “Just a few odd ducks.”
A couple of mid-November surprises.
It was cloudier and cooler this morning in Estabrook Park, but the breeze was lighter than yesterday, and the clouds held their water, so it was a pretty nice day for checking on the critters. We still have three stubborn wood ducks on the pond who have not yet flown south. There are two hensContinue reading “A couple of mid-November surprises.”
A good day for raptors!
The weather was pretty much “as forecast” in Estabrook Park this morning, so we had plenty of clouds and wind, but temps were mild and it didn’t rain, so yay! We also had a great turnout for our weekly wildlife walk, and there were twelve of us, if you include me. The first pleasant surpriseContinue reading “A good day for raptors!”
Be glad for the ducks you have…
After walking up one side of the river and down the other yesterday morning, I opted to take a break from Estabrook Park today and join the Milwaukee Birders at the lake front, where snow buntings and harlequin ducks have been spotted lately. Welp, these things seldom go as planned, and even with a goodContinue reading “Be glad for the ducks you have…”
Lots of dawdlers hanging around…
It was cloudy and a little breezy this morning in Estabrook Park, but at least it was warm and not raining. The osprey was back yet again, and why not? The weather has been balmy lately, and the fish are tasty, so what’s the rush, right? Similarly, I counted eight wood ducks on the pondContinue reading “Lots of dawdlers hanging around…”
Lingering in our mild fall weather.
The weather was pretty nice this morning in Estabrook Park, but with some clouds in the sky and a bit more breeze, so not quite as nice as yesterday, despite being a tad warmer. Nevertheless, I was thrilled to spot our Osprey one more time. I had begun to suspect that it had finally flownContinue reading “Lingering in our mild fall weather.”
