It rained the last two days, at least 2" (5 cm), so the green and color has gotten even more lush for my Sunday walk in the Dykeman Spring Nature Park. There have also been some other Spring events: I saw my first-of-the-season Green Heron in the wetland; the insect nymphs are all over the ponds, which has attracted even more Swallows to come and skim them up; and the first goslings have hatched. Come see what I saw today!

I don't think I've ever seen a Green Heron before. He has a unique look to him.
ReplyDeleteIf you go back a ways in this blog you'll see more of them. There were a lot of them in Newport in the Summers.
