A Birding Walk

Yesterday afternoon I drove Rachel's car over to Cedar Hill State Park and went for a solitary walk while Rachel and Gary were at choir practice. It was nice to be out in the sunshine for a while, and the temperature was mild.

There were mallards:

American coots:

Eastern Bluebirds:

And evidence of a prior existence...

...of one of these, a great or snowy or cattle egret, I don't know which.

And I found the first wildflower of the new season amid lots of dead grass.
