spring birds returning
Two images, same bird, taken minutes apart but they look seasons apart. Conifers form a springy green background for the bird on the fence while the pond ice background gives the second image the feel of winter.
Though ice still covers the ponds this week, the Canada geese, six of them, have returned to Lower Lake Ranch to stake nesting claims at [...]
