Life continues to be full speed ahead but in a good way! :D The kiddo is out of school and we've been doing extra birb watching around my work schedule (which continues to be far more OT than I like).

On Tuesday we went to this duck pond (I've been slowly mapping out all the birbing spots for us to visit this summer) and that's where we went!

The amount of geese were INTENSE.  So many gaggles and with big fluffy babies! :D We stayed a respectable distance because geese and geese with babies. 

The pond and adjacent park was super nice and it was only the kiddo and I for the longest time :D  Then we saw a couple walking their dog on the other side.

BUT THE COOLEST THING, okay there's actually multiple cool things, but the big coolest thing was we saw one of our EAGLES.  It was dive bombing the pond.  I can only assume it was trying to catch fish and while it wasn't doing a great job it was SO awesome to see.  The kiddo and I watched it for 20 minutes or more, up until it flew away.  IT WAS SO GREAT.

We also saw several heron on the pond and it's just so amazing how large they really are.  In the air they look small but on land they are like giant birbs, all legs and beaks.

We also found some trails we wanted to follow for future visits, because neither one of us were wearing long pants, and the trails were quite overgrown so next time we'll wear long pants and go exploring more.

I hope everyone is having a great week and we're almost to Fri-yay! :D

PS: I'm hoping Sunday I can finish my two fics and one drawing for my Guardian bingo prompts! Wheeeeee! :D

Happy Fri-yay! It's so cool how you and kiddo go on these adventures. I adore bird watching and it sounds like you two had a blast!! With herons, I once had one fly low over my head and make its squawking noise. In that moment, I understood what it was like to live in the age of dinosaurs XD XD
