Didn't expect this

 Didn't expect to see Trillium at this stage since it has not been very warm until recently

The Turkey Vultures have just hovering around lately.  They are so graceful in the air.

 These Woodduck were looking for a nest in the beaver pond.  I have been trying to get pictures of these because they are even more beautiful than the Turkey Vultures and much more skittish.

Stid Hill South ...

The water is starting to dry up as the snow is gone and warmer weather is arriving slowly.

Green-winged Teal

I think this is the first Green-winged Teal I have seen and definitely the first I've photographed.  What a pretty bird.  I hope you can see the subtle colours on the wings and the head.

A bunch of stuff

 Not sure what this is, but it is the first growing up in the forest.

 A Cardinal was calling for a mate and lots of others were around doing the same.

 A Starling admires himself in the water.

I think this is a Coltsfoot, but it is the first flower I have seen this year.  It has been very warm so this is a good sign.

A cool spring day

 

This is but a small part of the greese herd that flew over this morning.

This is one of 2 we saw on the trail and it was not that warm and has not been warm

Stid Hill south

 I hate it when the subject has no respect for the artist.

Activity at the park

 The Blue Heron was looking for dinner.  He probably is one that wintered over around here ... a hardy bunch.

These geese were swinging around to come and get the dog that was going nuts on the beach trying to scare them off.  It's great fun to watch - Grenville running up and down the shore line backing like a mad dog looking for a closer approach to the geese and the geese coming closer just to pull him in the water so they can drown him.
