Monday, the critters were more active this morning after the good soaking of rain we got early this morning. Dikkop and Auk, brought 2 of their unbanded friends over for a morning snack at the feeder.
During our walk along the Dees Trail, we found a really cool moth and a couple of Wood Ducks swimming in the bayou.
We did a crane drive by and found the Little German Pair in Melissa's pasture.
The family of 4 are still doing well. The colts are growing like a weed.
The afternoon was spent arm chair birding at Camp Crane. We were thoroughly entertained by Ferny and the squirrels.
Tuesday, we took a road trip to Crossroads to bring some stuff home. We came back to Camp Crane and arm chair birded this afternoon. We had a Coopers Hawk also keeping his eyes on the birds.
The young Cardinals are getting brave and coming to the feeder. One of the parents was feeding a youngster suet.
Wednesday, we had another day of walking, talking, taking pictures, and sitting around. It was National Bee Day, which we saw very few of. The bees must not have got the memo. The rain this afternoon had us inside by 4 pm.
The rain stopped in about 30 minutes and the sun came out. We heard the elusive call of the Cranes around 6:30 pm and found NV11 at the VC. He and 337 must have a new nest!!
Thursday, Lauren volunteered to be the target for the net shoot practice. The net came out a little bit better than the last time.
We walked to the frog tanks while Angie and the Interns were checking the traps. They pulled several Dusky Gopher Frogs out to be tagged and released. After lunch, we went to Melissa's property in Vancleave and walked around. It was nice to explore a new area.
We made a detour and checked on the Colts. They were across the road from where they usually hang. It was fun to watch the Colts go after a critter on the ground.
Friday, we had another day of walking and taking pictures.
