I don’t get to see Cindy very often. She lives in Colorado. The other day she happened to be on FaceBook when I was and I sent her an instant message. She wrote back, “Hi. I’m in Frewsburg.”
Yay! So she came by Audubon today and we took a walk around Big Pond. And talked. And talked. It was lovely.
We saw lots of birds: Great Blue Herons, Tundra Swans, Canada Geese, Ducks (mallards for sure… probably others, too), and a Bald Eagle. We heard a Kingfisher, but I never saw it. The day was variable… snow sometimes, then rain, then sunshine… We both toted cameras and often took shots of the same scene. Cindy promised to post hers on Facebook… Will you, Cindy?
Here are some of mine:
Several flocks of geese came in while we were walking. It was fun to hear their wings flapping right over our heads, then to watch how they roll out of their flight pattern before descending to the pond.
The colors on gray days seem brighter than on sunny days… why is that?
The dried grasses are so graceful.
The red berries of Winterberry Holly seem to glow from within.
