My daughter took these with pretty poor equiptment. Someday I'll get her tools that equal her eye. she's twelve.

Sorry about the sizing photobucket changed since I last used it.

The river seems to be about a week ahead of the rest of the state.

There where Robins EVERYWHERE!

The picts. are Swans

Redheads and Ringnecks,

B,Eagle and the moon,

And

Loons,

She walked right up to them.

Looks like she is a natural, definetly has an eye for it!

Thanks for sharing those, fishface. Hope they are coming my way.

[fishface]

Thanks,

Your comments really encouraged her!

I need to get her better equiptment.

I love the variety of birds this time of year.

They just seem to pile up at the edge of winter.

The geese are starting to nest. I saw one nest that had 3 eggs in it and another nest that had 5 eggs. There were a few other nests in the area. Kind of nice to know that they're already nesting.

Saw egrets and pelicans en masse today out by Watertown too

[fishface]

What's better this time of year, the fishing, or the birds?

I'm so glad we can multi-task out there.

Pelicans

Buffleheads

And Buzzards

My kinkdom for a camera.

My daughter is really into the birds!

[Steve Foss]

Pelicans, bufflehead, turkey vulture. I love it that things are finally starting to pick up.

Thanks for sharing some more!

Saw my first tree swallows yesterday while checking fence, and with the 73 degree high, spring peepers really cranked up the volume on the pond. This morning heard a brown thrasher in the dogwood and there was a rooster pheasant crowing and drumming while I was dumping water buckets right by the barn. Geese and ducks are paired up and starting to nest. Last ewe lambed yesterday so even though it's the start of a busy time of year in farm country, gotta stop and smell the roses.

And the snow up here in the Great White Boreal North is disappearing as we speak!

[finnbay]

Saw a purple finch at the feeder last night, and a sparrow (I think a song sparrow, but not sure) and heard a robin for the first time last night. Woo-hoo!

Waiting for some water to open up to explore possibilities for this month's challenge on the photography board - something floating!

[fishface]

The picts are from wright cnty. Last Sun. and yesterday, Wed.

I should have taken a pict, at the same spot to show the speed of springs march.
