After a relatively sleepless night for both of us, for no apparent reason, it was a lovely day for an outing today, and some spring pictures.
Some early visitors to our backyard patio area:
 |
| The male Oriole prefers the feeder |
 |
| While a female prefers an orange |
 |
| "Dang feeders!" |
 |
| Bald Eagle pair has hatchlings now, but no sightings today |
It was a great day for a visit to Hullett Marsh. Lots of bird activity and not buggy yet. Thanks to Stew Hilts (Seasons in the Valley) for spring wildflower inspirations. If you enjoy learning about some of the spring wildflowers, have a look at a recent Youtube video offered by Stew: Beaver Valley Wildflowers.
Stew had described the invasive Garlic Mustard so well that we were able to recognize some today. We didn't pull it though:
Lots of Canada Goose activity here today:
 |
| A serene solo paddler |
 |
| Pairs are common now |
 |
| Social distancing in effect |
The pair at the back of this picture were loudly chastising the front pair gliding by with their new baby between them. Territorial issues or just jealous?:
The Heron wasn't worried about any geese:
Just a beautiful peaceful area, except for the squabbling geese :))

I stopped by the Eagles nest this morning and was able to get a few shots of Mama Eagle and Junior Eagle. Didn't have enough room in tonight's post for the pics so I hope to post them in my Saturday's post.

What a lovely way to spend your day. I'll check Al's post for eagle pics and Stew's about wildflowers.
