Almost Spring at Sandy Ridge

Social Distancing is happening, but that doesn't mean I can't go to the park and look for signs of spring. 

Getting this guy on camera was a complete accident. I was looking to take a picture of the nest and missed, but when I looked through my lens this is what I saw. 

 I am the chipmunk whisperer.


The Red-winged Blackbirds were out and pretty vocal today.


I never realized the killdeer had such weird eyes, or a weird name. 




 Great Blue Herons look very different in the water than in flight. This one caught a fish flew away with it and then let it go back in the water to catch it again. 



 I think this is a milkweed bug. 



 My brain keeps labeling this a barn swallow but it is actually a tree swallow. 



 There was one lonely sandhill crane 


 Downy woodpecker

Red-bellied woodpecker


 And finally momma eagle on her nest.
