Happy Trails To You...
I finally made it back out to the conservation area this morning. Hadn't been since the end of April, when I saw all the deer, frogs, and snakes.
None of the above today, but plenty of chipmunks and squirrels (grey, black, and red), plus chickadees--even a male cardinal.
I wanted to hike the full perimeter, but like last time, got bogged down in, well, the bog. LOL. Though I made it further along a particular trail than I did at the end of April, I still could go only so far and had to double-back, pick up a narrow path that crossed the area and come out on another drier, well-used trail. Perhaps the next time I go that particular route will be dry at long last.
I did take plenty of pics -- 114 in fact -- saved 68 of them. Too many to upload to May's Picasa album via my slow dial up at home, so they'll have to wait till Monday and high speed access at the office. In the meantime, here's my favourite critter pic from the hike.
