Mother's Day 2012

Mother's Day 2012
Geese and Mallards

Canada Goose

Water Snake
Rose Breasted Grosbeak
I had such a wonderful day with my son and his girlfriend. We went to our local conservation area and feed the birds. It was an amazing day. There were plenty of birds and wildlife out and about on such a beautiful day. We saw geese and mallards. There were lots of water snakes along the lake as well. As we moved around the conservation area there we many birds to see. Downy Woodpeckers, Baltimore Orioles, Black Capped Chickadees, Fox Sparrows, White Breasted Nuthatch and a very beautiful Rose Breasted Grosbeak.Of course we had to try feeding the Chickadees. There are very bold and will eat right out of your hand. They attract lots of visitors who love to feed them. We only feed the birds, bird seeds, NOT bread like some folks. All in all it was a wonderful afternoon.
