urbpanThe weather forecast for today has been gloriously incorrect. After some pre-dawn thundershowers, the day has cleared up, and by eleven the sun was out and it was jacket-carrying weather. Alexis and I took the dogs on the 'long loop' of The Riverway.
We saw a basking turtle--unfortunately a probably nonnative pond slider--but it was great to see our first turtles of the year. We also saw a black-crowned night-heron, and a huge flock of cedar waxwings. On our way back to the house we saw a kingfisher flying up the river. We also saw some carp activity, which we've noticed a few times over the past week or so. At home a downy woodpecker has finally found our suet cage.
