To all the moms out there, Happy Mother’s Day!
As this is one of their busier days of the year, I headed to Reifel and helped out on the trails this afternoon. With the wonderful weather there was no shortage of visitors. New arrivals since my last visit were some Black-headed Grosbeak along the east dyke trail and three Wilson’s Phalarope amongst the Dowitchers in the outer ponds. Lots of ducklings and goslings showing up now as well.
One of the biggest attractions today were the Hummingbird feeders. All were being visited frequently including one located in a tree at the picnic area.
The nice thing about this one if you were patient,
… is that you could get them when they alighted briefly on the branches.
I managed a couple of shots while taking a break from the trails and enjoyed them along with everyone else.
