May I introduce you to...

All these birds were at Gage Park yesterday. I love water bird babies!



A family swim.



Picnic in the grass.



Wood ducks! I was delighted to find these at Gage Park. This is the closest I've ever gotten to wood ducks.


The little ones swam so fast I couldn't really get any of them in good focus.


And there was a yellow-crowned night heron stalking the fish and frogs. I didn't see him catch anything, though. Thanks to Joe Harrington for the ID of the heron.


The grackles were not very patiently waiting for us to finish our picnic so they could see what we left them.

It was chilly yesterday in the park, and chilly again today, but I'm loving it. I'll take these temps over the 90s anytime!
