It was early on Easter morning at Lindsay Parsons preserve and it was cold! There was a stiff breeze blowing and the wind chill was in the twenties. The birds were smarter than I was because they were nowhere to be found! So I packed my gear up and headed back to town, but I hate to give up so easily so I stopped at Apalachin Marsh on my way home. I wasn’t expecting much but the breeze had dropped off so it felt much warmer. It was slow at the marsh too but I was lucky in that there was a small flock of birds on the pond. And these little ducks are one of my favorites. These are Pied Billed Grebes and they are so small they would fit easily into your hand. And they have a very distinctive call that sounds almost like a call you would hear in a jungle! Kind of an ape-like sound!
I enjoyed being out in nature on such a beautiful day! Enjoy the pics and stay safe!!!
