Nature Walks

We've been taking daily 3 mile walks to get some fresh air and to make scientific discoveries.  One cool thing that we've observed over the winter is a tree down the road that has a number of huge nests in it.  Turns out that they were blue heron nests, and these majestic birds are back sitting on their eggs.  So cool!

Thane's gone fishing in Little Goose Creek several times, although the fish have remained elusive. Speaking of elusive, we've also seen a couple of camera-shy mink swimming along the creek several times.

Unfortunately less savory critters are also out in abundance now that warmer weather has arrived.  Here's Thane with a snake - one of over a dozen that we found in a nest by the creek.  As long as it stays by the creek!!
