Today the weather was not great (I really hope May is an improvement over this dreary April) but it was getting even worse, so I decided I had better get out anyway. So off I went, to the pond! I looked and looked for the black crowned night herons, but I couldn't find them. Maybe they are just really good hiders, and they defeated me.
I did, however, find this cat. Inside Hallett. Looking........ well satisfied. :-( I saw this cat in the ramble a couple of times last year, and talked to a park employee. They know the cat is around, they just have not been able to catch the cat. Anyone know how to catch a cat?
From there I decided to just continue on, and headed up. The red-headed woodpecker did not say hello. He probably was comfy cozy indoors, with more sense than I had! Near the oven a towhee flew in front of me, perched as gorgeous as can be, and flew off as I raised the camera.
At the stream near the wood bridge was this pretty winter wren, and later was a waterthrush of some sort.
At the upper lobe I looked again for the egret, and instead found this black crowned night heron! So, the day was not completely without sightings. I also saw a kinglet here and there, that was about it. I'm so happy with my outerwear, I send thanks to Merrell every time I wear it. Thanks Merrell!
