Birds of a Feather …

This morning D and I decided to go for a ride to William Hawrelak Park, one of the parks not too far from our home. I especially enjoy this particular park as it has a man-made lake. We parked the car and went for a stroll.

There were all sorts of birds … ducks, geese, loons, seagulls and blackbirds just to name a few. Even tho there was still a fair bit of ice on the lake, the birds didn’t seem to mind as they all seemed to be having a great old time.

What a pleasure it was to watch. I most enjoyed watching the male geese … making sure all the other male geese kept a fair distance from their mates.

I think I’m going back for another visit tomorrow …

Ah loons. I have always wanted to see them in the wild. We are too far south where I live but in Northern Michigan, I heard them but just couldn't see them.
Now the geese, we have plenty.

Love this post, as I am an avid birdwatcher. Fun to see them interacting so gracefully. Usually the geese chase everyone else away. Looks like a nice sunny day, so hopefully the ice will melt some more and give them more room to dabble. It's great to get outside, huh? Keep thinking Spring.

Sometimes life's simple pleasures are the very best!

You remind me its time I got out for a walk.
