At the Swamp

It appears that it is nesting time for the crows. I saw several today hauling sticks. Hot work at 30C

The Marsh Marigolds are starting to show up in the swamps.

I was sitting by a beaver pond hoping that something exciting would show up. This Robin ws the only thing to come along.

This was the first Common Loon that I have seen this year.

It was a quiet, but peaceful morning.

Random Wednesday

A brief walk today brought forth a few photo opportunities. The mallard was pretty laid back.

 The geese were attentive, but not scared. They have nested in this area for the last 4 years (maybe longer).

 Spring is definitely here when the Marsh Marigolds are out. You can't fool them! spring is about 2 weeks later than normal.

 The odd butterfly was out and about.

 This woodpecker decided to pose while hammering for a mate. it appears to be a juvenile Yellow Bellied sapsucker.

 Robins appear to be everywhere now.

 I see you!
