Saturday, March 7, 2015 Bird Walk
Sunny and mild seems to be the pattern we're in. A lot different from the weather pattern we've had in the last month. The bluebirds should be rolling in with this present weather pattern. Perhaps, we will go looking for them next week! Today, we had a good variety. March is duck month and we saw a lot of them. Note: The slide show this week shows an American Kestrel eating a mouse/vole for those of you who wish to avoid such an image.
