Environment:Start Time: 7:50 AM Temperature: 50 degrees Sky: Sun. Picture perfect is the only way to describe walking conditions this morning. Spring continues to dominate with much nesting and childrearing going on. Featured is one of the brave Power Pole Osprey working on its nest. Pictured here is a hen Wood Duck heading for the river after a quick nest check. She was flying alone so I don’t know if dad was on duty or simply out with the boys.
