Sights from my Bike Ride

Signs of spring are everywhere and it makes me very happy.  Today was more about sightseeing than riding.  It took me 3 hours to ride 24 miles because I spent so much time stopping to watch everything around me.  Starting with the top left by rows are Double-crested Cormorants, American Bald Eagle, American White Pelican, Western Painted Turtle, an encouraging sign in the park, Variegated Meadowhawk (first dragonfly of the year!), Red-winged Blackbird, a well camouflaged Great Blue Heron, and Canada Goose (gosling). :-)))

I was hesitant to ride on bike paths because they've been so crowded but today wasn't bad at all.  Most people were wearing masks and everyone was courteous about distancing.  I also visited the GBH rookery and saw chicks in most of the nests.  They'll have to be a little bigger before I can get a decent shot.  I also saw a Belted Kingfisher but as usual, he was too quick for me.

I have really been struggling to keep up with Blip.  I need to step back for a while.  I will comment when time permits but I'll try to visit every day and sprinkle stars. Thanks for understanding. xx

I am grateful that PD was fine with leftovers tonight since it was my turn to cook! ;-)
