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!”

Not who I expected to see…
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…”
It’s time to close the book on May…
I had a nice enough morning in Estabrook Park, but I kept waiting for a chance to photograph someone new or someone we soon won’t see for a while, but that chance never came. Oh, there are still plenty of pretty sights to see, don’t worry about that, but I’ve gotta recalibrate my expectations nowContinue reading “It’s time to close the book on May…”
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 weather finally got the memo that summer has begun…
The cloudy skies that we’ve been enjoying every morning in Estabrook Park lately, finally gave us a break today, and I got to see the sun as soon as it came over the horizon for a change. It appears that I wasn’t the only one to have been missing it either, because this green heronContinue reading “The weather finally got the memo that summer has begun…”
