Picture of the Day for April 5, 2019

It is a good thing the south winds haven’t blown in any of the returning ducks yet since my pond still has a layer of ice covering it. So far the Blue-winged Teal have only visit my pond for a few weeks each spring but haven’t stayed to nest so apparently my area isn’t appealing to the females, who decide where to nest by flying over possible areas and she may take several days to decide.

Picture of the Day for April 1, 2019

Mother Nature played a small April Fools’ Day joke today when I found a coating of new snow coating the ground. I would have appreciated a nice treat of wildflower blooming instead of the snow, even if they were white wildflowers like these bloodroots. Its name comes from bright red color of the sap when the stem is cut.
