Walk at Larson Purchase

M and K seem to run more when we go to the land trust path than on the playground. I was hoping to photograph the male wood duck we saw a week ago, but perhaps he’s busy now –  I heard peeps from the nesting boxes along the shore.

Having just gotten over a stomach bug, K wanted to rest, eventually to have me  carry her home!

I thought this swan was the most interesting thing we’d see, but then the herron landed below the waterfall.

Boy, that herron looked huge in flight, but slate grey birds really melt into bare trees on overcast days.

We saw him catch a fish, then fly off to the pond.  I tried to photograph him (her?) in flight, but if I got it, I can’t find it in the photos.  Its worse than Where’s Waldo.
