3 day weekend first morning walk

 

Good morning, birdie!

Despite last night's mortar barrage, neighborhood looks unharmed...

Mrs Cardinal chirping at us

"My God, what is that smell?"

Why, it's the soccer field sprinklers!  Hope you like playing on that sulphur-saturated grass..

Bird breakfast central

Mrs Goldfinch leaving

So we got to watch a hawk almost have a squirrel breakfast.  However, the stupid camera, whose settings button would have been better placed on the other side, decided, "Oh, you want to switch to panorama!  Let me access that" at the very. Worst. Moment.

"That sucks."

And just as I was trying to line up Mr Goldfinch, I hear, "Coming up on your right!" from an ill-timed bicyclist.

Across the bridge to PFW

Robin was just looking up and over his shoulder at squirrels chattering above.

Then we saw the deer come out to the river, one at a time...

That made the long walk worth it!

Last night, we saw our first three groundhogs of the year!  Today, we saw another one.
