Winter weather Wednesday, with wind, wet snow, etc. (3+ cm snow, high temps Wed-Thurs a bit above 0 deg C.) Nevertheless, plenty of ‘seasonal’ bird activity – European Starling, Blue Jay, Northern Cardinal, American Robin, etc.
Of note, unusual amount of Common Loon activity both on Lake Erie and Presque Isle Bay. Following shots are poorly lit (long distance + fog/gloomy conditions), but fun to see breeding adult plumage:
Back to ‘spring,’ first Great Egret of the year spotted at Presque Isle State Park today! (Marsh by the road across from Long Pond.) Lots of heat shimmer due to the sunshine = blurry photo, but still nice to see these beautiful birds back in town. Video clips to follow.
Coming up soon, snakes! Really! Well, maybe one snake.
[Editor’s note: 6x alliteration for the win!]
As always beautiful pictures. Thanks for all the beauty you send our way!
