Being such a lovely day I had to get out for a walk at some point. Later in the afternoon I headed out to Reifel, but was not expecting to find much. It was fairly quiet on the birding front. A Black-crowned Night-Heron has already returned as one did this time last year. There were some Yellowlegs, Dowitchers and Western Sandpipers in the outer ponds. Also way off in the distance I spotted a juvenile Killdeer along with an adult. With no pictures to speak of when leaving it was time to perk myself up a little.
What better way than stopping at Emma-Lea Farms and Emma’s Ice Cream for some farm fresh strawberries and ice cream. Feeling somewhat revived the next stop was the Bald Eagle nest by the Westham Island bridge.
It was siesta time for one of the adults,
and even one of the juveniles was relaxed taking in the sun. Great to finally have some summer weather.
