I think we’re gonna make it
Today felt like spring could really be here and not stringing us along with a semi-nice day here or there. I am sorry for those of you up north that still have snow. Hang in there, it’s going to come your way soon. We took a drive today to a nature preserve in Middleton to do a little birding. It was a good day to get outside with the temperature climbing to about 52 degrees. Here are some of the highlights:
Our first of the year Golden-crowned Kinglet. They are not shy and it’s easy to get pretty close.
Red-bellied woodpecker
A Song Sparrow singing its little heart out.
The ever-present Chickadees. Always willing to pose for a picture.
I took these picture of the Sandhill Crane on March 31st down at the Yahara River here in Stoughton.
Kildeer we spotted along one of our walking trails here in Stoughton.
Greater White-fronted Geese. Summer tundra dwellers that stop here on their way to the north.
This is a really bad photo, but if you look close, you’ll see a pair of Northern Pintail ducks way towards the back.
A Ring-necked Duck swimming with a beaver in the river.
