Horned Grebe at the Celery Farm
My first ever here. And the spring arrivals are arriving! The grebe was No. 186 on my Celery Farm life…
Sorry about the goose photo, but thought you'd like to a photo of the Mom that has had the nasty Canada Goose in major defense mode by the Warden's Watch. She's like the Helen of Troy of Canada Geese — the face that launched a thousands snits.
The good news is that you can now walk up to the Warden's Watch without being accosted. The bad news is it is raining today.
A trip to the Warden's Watch and a walk around the farm yesterday brought a Cedar Waxwing or two, several Great Blue Herons feeding in the shallows, and lots of Tree Swallows and Yellow Rumps. Also had a few Brown-headed Cowbirds, everyone's favorite parasite.
