For a few months, we had not been to the wetland due to chilly weather. But on Friday, the sky showed a little blue around noon and we decided to revisit there.
A muddy trail... We had to walk on the weedy side to avoid the mud.
Up in the sky, a lone Canada Goose was about to land nearby.
"I'm gonna land on my favorite spot right behind the new picnic area."
On a pond in front, a duck was shoveling weedy food out of the pond bottom.
"Look at my bill. Doesn't it look like a shovel? Efficient digging is my trait. That's why I am called a Northern Shoveler."
On the other side of the pond, other ducks are ready to take off.
"Run, run, run on the water.... F-A-S-T."
Staring motionless, a matured Great Blue Heron was standing in the weeds at the edge of a pond for 30 minutes or even longer....
"I'm just looking and listening to whatever is going on around here, like an sentinel."
