Woodlot Wander

Our Barn Tour photo shoot was cancelled yesterday due to the rain. I was really disappointed but I think that it will be rescheduled for next week.
Today, I went to Lake Erie Metropark for a walk and a few folks from Crack O' Dawn also showed up...Bernie, Inga and Ulanawa. It was a beautiful day and we saw a Cooper's Hawk's nest and the male hawk in a tree. The female was sitting on her eggs. Paul, the interpreter, set up a spotting scope so we could see her.
Also, saw a pair of Yellow Rumped Warblers (also known as Butter Butts). We had a lesson in wild flowers as well. I took a lot of photos and it was a great walk. Very busy on the bike trail as it was Sunday. A lot of bikers. We had to keep jumping out of their way.
Crack O' Dawn next week!

  1. Was a wonderful walk. Paul always takes us to different and interesting places! Love the pics! My male Cooper's Hawk didn't turn out. Too many branches in the way. Looked headless. LOL
