Birthday Present



Went to a birthday party today and it turns out that although it wasn't my birthday I ended up getting a present too! A great opportunity to take pictures of an eagle thanks to the farmer behind the house tossing around the fresh cut hay that's been drying overnight with his tractor. Now I don't know much about farming but I'm assuming by moving it into lines for pick up by the hay bailers that this uncovers the critters hiding underneath. AKA prime food picking for the birds.. and prime photographic opportunities.


To the park


Took my son to a park in the neighborhood today. This particular park has a large pond or small lake depending on if you are a glass half full or half empty kinda person right smack dab in the middle of it. This leads to there being a lot of ducks and geese that have decided to call this home. Now if you can stomach walking over grass that is sometimes more poop than grass it can be a lot of fun.

Generally the geese in the park are there are the Canadian Geese but today we saw one that was different and being a newcomer he didn't fully understand our right to join him in the park. After hissing at my son he was dubbed the "Angry Goose" and we went our way to find a more receptive crowd.
