On the Pond

From afar... one might observe this duckling as unable to
take care of himself and crying for his mama.



But up-close you will see that he is the Tony Soprano
of the pond.


... and in charge of The Family.

Murray's great GREAT EGRET

Most of the Migrants have moved on...
but this Great Egret remains at The Pond and is a joy to watch.


He arrives at Gapstow Bridge


The resident Red-winged Blackbirds are quick to harass


Bet he hasn't seen that before!


At the Northern end the fishing is fine.

Egret in air... Iris in bloom... Nature in tune.
