Adventure of the Day.. Feb. 19, 2016

A very unusual February day....not snowing and not freezing cold...a bit windy but warm and partly sunny....My sister and I took off

 on a drive....It has been a while and after that week of snow we needed an outing...

I noticed that this year that Yoctangee Park is not getting the variety of migrant ducks it got last year...probably because of the mild winter...but I did get these pictures of the Swans...they never disappoint....



Then we tried to decide what and where to go....always a problem...so we decided to check out Charlie's Pond to see if the Sandhill Cranes were still hanging around.....We were not disappointed there either!



There they were out in the field hunting for food....Must have been about 30 at least!


Always one that checks to see if everything is ok....we figured he heard our car stop....but they were far enough away that they felt safe.

Then as we were about to leave, we were driving down the road and heard this noise!  We stopped and up in the sky ..........







Was so neat to see these hugh birds flying around over the field...I got a few good pictures....hope you enjoy them.....we drove back to the place where we could see them and....


There they were all standing together like it was planned to show us a sight!


Then while we were watching a Northern Harrier flew in with her lunch.....



So after such a great sighting we decided it was to windy to go hiking anywhere so we headed to Lancaster to a favorite antique shop....and I got this.


This vintage foot stool with birds done in needlepoint....very pretty...















So that was a nice drive and can't wait for more of this warm weather.....
Till we meet again....Enjoy the day!!!!
