More with Harry!

Most of our days here this spring have been rainy. Sometimes pouring rain, sometimes just a little. But loads of gloom. So a nice day at the Ditch is like a bonus! And as you can see, it's greening up!

On one of my recent visits, I noticed even more geese nesting.

This makes about three I've seen -- and there might be more; it's sometimes hard to tell!

This was the newest.

This duck duo intrigued me too. Usually when they are just sitting, all the feathers are tucked under -- look at the male, whose back is to us. But the female seems to have her tail feathers out.

I'd never seen that before. I thought she might be getting ready to take off or get int he water, but no, she just stood there, like a statue.

Harry was back and I was able to get a couple of good sequence shots of him fishing. Here's the first sequence. Both of the following sets are in order and they require little (if any) explanation!

In this sequence, watch how Harry gets the fish, tries to "work" it into his mouth, loses it and gets it again -- in mid-air -- then down the hatch!

I am continually in awe.
