Yesterday was cold and intermittantly rainy. I made the mistake I always accuse students of -- dressing for yesterday. I was quite cold during my outdoor classes.
I heard a bluejay, but I didn't see it. (Can't blame the bird. I wouldn't have shown my face to 21 first and second graders, either.)
At right is a picture of the hazelnut flowers, both male (catkins) and female (bright red!).
Here is the baby bergamots, sprouting purple and fragrant in the prairie.
Also, I tried to get a picture of a migrating duck, so we can play name that duck. Scaup? Any other ideas out there?
I agree with the scaup determination. Hard to tell for sure, but his profile and tail feathers match either greater or lesser scaup. Good id, Naomi.
ReplyDeleteAlso, beautiful hazelnut flower shot.
