Trees and Snow in May Don’t Mix

Posted on May 24, 2010 by Steve Norr
Is Errol building a fence or is this from the snow?

 This is a photo of the Tree behind Errols house last week
notice the large section on the left.

This is the same tree today!
The left section is on the ground.
After talking to Errol I found out this is the result
of the snow we had this morning.

What a mess!
We will have something intresting to see
on our walk around the Pond at Saturday’s
MCPAC Meeting.

Pelagic Cormorant

Posted on May 1, 2010 by Steve Norr
Shelly spotted this unusual bird and took these pic’s today.
This bird can leap directly into flight from water
without running and flapping across the surface.

The Pelagic Cormorant is usually only found on the West Coast.
I wonder what he is doing here, he has been here for a couple of days
as far as we know, have you saw this type of bird here before?

We spotted this Hawk outside of our upstairs window today.
These birds are often attracted to concentrations of small birds.

Stay away from our babies

Posted on April 29, 2010 by Steve Norr
Look closely to the right of this Goose and
you can see an upside-down Seagull.
Click on photo to enlarge it.
This Seagull wont be hunting our baby’s ducks and geese
anytime soon, but he did eventually recover and fly away.
