How does a robin take a bath?

First you need a good sized mud puddle, and of course supervision. Then you dunk your head, scrub your wings well, shake with enthusiasm. Somewhere last night, there were two very clean robins in a nest.

Bickering Swallows and Bad Quill Day

Tuesday morning I wandered around the Cherry River Marsh, looking for the Green Heron, it seems he only comes out by appointment, and I didn't have one..... I did see a couple of bickering swallows. They appeared to be arguing as to which one was going to fly away first..

Today, as I was driving toward Fitch Bay, in the rain, I came across the largest porcupine I have ever seen. He was in the middle of the road, and heading for the Narrows Hill.I parked the car, grabbed the camera and hurried after him. He did not move very quickly, and I could hear him huffing and puffing... He was not happy with me. I increased my speed, and got beside him and he moved over to the road side. I was able to get a side view shot. As the shots from behind will show, he was having a bad quill day. Maybe he was on the way to the hairdresser!

The End Of The Day

The sky was glowing from up on the hill, by the time I made it to the Village the light was just about gone.....someone got in his boat and headed home... a perfect way to end a day.

explaination of the photos

The moth/butterfly ,,....I don't know which.... was very still on the branch, and after a couple of shots I began to think I had managed to catch another dead butterfly. When I looked at the shots at home, it turns out she was laying eggs. So neat!
The bluebirds were just about ready to "make more bluebirds", as I discovered when I looked at those shots at home..... As far as I know the Osprey was just fishing!

Some Days You Win Them All

Spring is such a great time for photographers, it is all about the birds, and the bees......

And Now It Really Is Spring
