There are disgruntled people in this park. They are not happy that the pool and hot tub have been shut down because of our current health crisis. Perhaps they haven’t noticed all the inconveniences, and worse, that are going on all over the world these days. This too shall pass, hopefully.
Staying home doesn’t mean I have to stay away from the rookery. Especially if I’m passing right by it. The decibel level is up, lots of hungry little mouths to feed. And still they fly in with foliage in their beaks, still building nests. It really is fun to be there and see people’s reaction when they stop to see what you are taking pictures of. When my friend was here and I pulled into the little parking lot behind a building she wanted to know what we were doing, were we turning around, she asked. She was so amazed that we had arrived. In the middle of a busy shopping area, an oasis of nature just doing what comes naturally.
Aren’t the babies just a little prehistoric looking? I love seeing them…
And the egret family was posing for a family photo, but they never said cheese.
And the sandhill cranes were back again. They take divots out of the grass when they stab in search of bugs to eat. I always looked at it as they were aerating my yard. I imagine there will be a thing or two said about them also…
