RIVER PARK NORTH--WARM WEATHER REPORT

4/3/2014

0 Comments

 
I was at River Park North on Wednesday and would you believe the temperature was 85 degrees!! I was pleased to feel such warmth after this long winter, but it seems in this Atlantic Coast area we go from winter to summer, skipping over those 70 degree true spring days! Anyway, what a beautiful day! I did not really see many birds, but spring growth is really evident. I got so caught up in taking pics of the new multicolored tree buds that the birds were taking a backseat waiting to get their mugshot made. I did get a pic of a lone male tree swallow just sitting quietly up high on a branch. In fact, his lack of movement made me wonder if something was wrong--you don't usually see these guys sit still for long--but he was there for at least 45 minutes as I was looking around the area. Perhaps he was waiting for his honey! He finally flew away looking as if he was OK.


I also will have to correct my observation from a couple posts ago that the Ospreys had adopted their new platform built for them by the power company. Instead, they have built their nest on top of one of the new very tall poles. I guess the shorter one just wasn't to their liking! They did put a few sticks on the new platform, but in the end have built an elaborate nest back at a higher level. See pics below.


There are a few bird pics below, but the lure of new tree growth sidetracked me into doing some photos that I don't normally do--pictures of new tree growth. These new buds and leaves are quite striking and are in so many color shades and textures that I was captured and couldn't leave them alone. I hope they bring you a little taste of the new life coming--better yet, get out there and see for yourself!!
