One Last Cold Morning At The Celery Bog

Sunday I decided to head out to the Celery Bog in the morning. It was a crisp morning, but that really makes the walks feel better in my mind. I have heard people hope that it was the last cold morning, but I sort of like those days. Of course with warm weather comes spring so I guess I can get on board with that.

A Downy Woodpecker Starts Things Off

On my way into the woods I went to say hello to Ruby, but she was not around. My first photo of the day was of this downy woodpecker up in the tree. I normally do not like making photos nearly straight up over my head, but with that blue sky I just had to hope that it would find a position that worked for me.

The Take Off

Just down from my bench where I was sitting a couple of birders got a little too close to the water and these mallards decided to take off. I was in the perfect position to make a photo. Normally I don’t like it when birds get flushed, but here it allowed me to make a nice photo.

A Ring-necked Duck Flies By

I had already made a couple of ring-necked duck photos in the water that I liked. A group had swam past me in a parade type fashion. This duck though wanted to catch up quickly so it flew past me. The background colors quickly made this my favorite photo from the day.
