We went along the west side and saw...nothing. No turtles, no beaver, no night herons. We got pretty excited when we saw a robin so it wasn't looking good, even though the robin was adorable.
We kept going because I wanted to show her the Canada goose on the nest, and as I approached it I was horrified because there was some green thing on her neck. I thought it was garbage of some sort but it was a band:
That really bugs me because it's so big but they do this for a reason, it just seems way too invasive to me. We walked over to the boat launch and go figure, a second Canada goose with a green band was swimming around:
What we really wanted to see was the long-tailed ducks, and they didn't disappoint:
Buffleheads wouldn't come too close:
Beautiful Mallards:
Beautiful swan:
Complaining gull:
Canada Goose:
Sharp-shinned hawk on the east side of the park:
Looks like a nice afternoon out. Cool to get one last look at some Long-tails before they leave us once again.
ReplyDeleteNot keen on the green scarves either. :(
Well those green neck bands look awful and I bet they're not too comfortable either. I wonder whoever came up with the idea wore one on a trial basis... I think not.
ReplyDeleteNice series Ms. Lee.
