This morning's Nature Adventure~

 have had a wonderful start to my day this morning when I went out on my morning drive, At my first stop at Peterson's Rocks
I watched a Merganser family swimming upstream and climb over the rapids there.! I think this was the merganser family Tess, Eli and I had found a week or so ago. The adult merganser was with the group this morning.
My next stop was the lagoon where I found Wood Ducks. Most of them took off in flight as I approached them. I only got a picture of one male near the shore. Then on to Blissville where there are a couple of ponds there. It was a bonus location!



I found three Great Blue Heron and caught a picture of one in flight as I had startled it! Also at Blissville
I found three family groups of Canada Geese, each group being shepherded by both adults, one at each end of the younger ones. Unfortunately I missed a beautiful picture of a male Red-winged Blackbird showing its beautiful red epaulets in flight.

Have a wonderful day everyone! Its a it damp here this morning, but we need the rain and the temperature just just right.

  2. Nice photos! The ducks going against the current like that is amazing to see. I wonder what made they do that.
