Goslings Are Abundant...

Is nap time over? 

Gander Goose calling his kids back.

A couple of cuties on the trail! Hatchlings are covered with yellowish down and their eyes are open. They leave the nest when 1-2 days old, depending on the weather, and can walk, swim, feed and even dive. They have enough energy remaining in their yolk sac to survive 2 days before feeding.

A Killdeer did his best to hide from me on the Canatara Beach.

Only last week, the same bird was sitting in snow. Brrr.

Virginia Bluebells! The "sky-blue" bells provide early spring 

nectar for butterflies and are members of the Forget-Me-Not family.
