If Only it were Fall.....

The temps were below 90 this morning, so OUT we went. Warning: Not too many bird photos below; Running Deer just isn't the same since they drained the pond. Quiet and peaceful and I'll take it. Birding with a toddler is funny anyhow. (Playground birding anyone? "I see a Crow.") And the birds seem sort of unimpressed as we come tumbling along singing "Ring Around a Rosie."

Anyhow. Bullfrog: Maisie didn't notice, since he was sitting very still.

Western Kingbirds doing their thing.

Osprey Flyover.

Maisie found a snake. Mom had a heart attack. Apparently someone inherited my mad snake finding skills. Oh Well.

FOS Walk:

Warm enough to venture out with Dad and Maisie today, a nice re-introduction to North Shields Ponds:

Didn't see anything inside...can't tell if they were caching 

food or what!

Greater Yellowlegs...also LOVELY to see some

American Avocets off in the distance. :)
