River

Joann and I took a walk down at the river. Did about four miles. A bit cool…only in the 40’s. What a nice change. It was a treat to see a canvasback duck. They are not a usual visitor around here. Canon SX70

Transfer Hike

It was a nice day in the 60's.  Joann and I hiked 5.5 miles at my Transfer spot.  Saw some birds.  Afterward we drove on up to see how far we could get.  We didn't quite make it to the Transfer Pond lower trailhead.  There was a pond in the road.  Others had gone through, but we didn't want to wallow in that mud.  Sony RX10IV

Hart's Basin

We had a great day birding at Hart's Basin.  Avocets, white faced ibis, grebes, pelicans, herons, snowy egrets and even an immature bald eagle to finish things off.  Just think that this is only a fraction of bird species worldwide.  What a creative mind the Lord has!

“Everyone likes birds. What wild creature is more accessible to our eyes and ears, as close to us and everyone in the world, as universal as a bird?”
