This morning was so lovely and sunny that I went for my morning walk on the greenbelt with great anticipation and joy. And I was not disappointed. I had a stellar's jay come in close to the trail and hop around in a tree right in front of me. Close enough I could see the blue streaking on his forehead. (The picture below is from a different day at a different park since I didn't take my camera this morning). Then I went another 10 feet down the path and a towhee, a sparrow and a hummingbird all popped up to give me a look. I continued on to the lake pier and got a some nice looks at a couple of male mallards.
On my way back to the car, I had a momma mallard squawk at me as she was herding her little brood of ducklings across the path and into one of the waterways that feed into the lake. I hurried past so she could continue on her way with her incredibly cute little balls of fluff. A wonderful way to celebrate Earth Day and I am glad I took the time. I hope you have a chance to connect with the natural world today too.
