A bit of this and that....

Nothing terribly exciting the last few days, no walks, no canoe trips....so just a bit of this and that found around home....

This is 'mummy' .....


Raccoon.  I have been packing my camera at all times in hopes of getting photos of her with her 4 youngsters, but she is pretty smart and so far I haven't managed.


after taking this, and continuing on down the street, looked back to see the babies running across the road, one at a time....oh well...

Down at the boat launch...


the water continues to recede at a rapid pace.  This was this evening.  Maybe by tomorrow we'll be able to get far enough down the path to peek around the corner towards the park once more!


there has been far more Canada Goose activity the last few days with small groups flying here and there as they complete their molt.


Bald Eagles continue to be seen and heard....in fact it has been reported that there seem to be more in the general area now, what with the interior fires.  Not sure if that is correct or not but for sure the amount of area burned is going to throw a lot of wildlife and bird into turmoil with a hard winter looming....might be a year to consider putting out some bird seed if you've never done it before...


this Song Sparrow is back in residence in its' favorite willow tree....seems to be perched there almost every time we venture down.


this little guy....a Willow Flycatcher, was in the same tree the other day....camera had problems focusing on him so a bit blurry.


American Robins, like this juvenile are enjoying the muck left behind.
