Only cjt (and perhaps srmoment ) can relate to these photos taken yesterday (April 20, 2023). It happens. Brief notes with each.
Franklin's gulls chilling with ring-billed gulls
Family discussion (female on the left.. JOKE! )
Mom great-horned owl ... she is just 1 m from the nest
Two owlets...there are three ... mom is behind.
Female Canada goose on the nest. She has to stay on the nest when it is cold. Hardy critters...
The "old" ponds .. very few waterfowl this year ... could be the avian flu or just an "off" week
Ring-billed gull
Ring-billed gulls also having a family discussion
Reflections
White pelican ... they stop here on their way to breeding areas farther north
