Wednesday Walk Spotting Critters

Here is a #wednesdaywalk I took to spot some critters with my zoom lens.

I typically do loop around the lake and always see a duck sitting on this rock. Their colors really come out in the sunlight in this spot.

All the trees are blooming right now and my allergies are going crazy lol. At least it brings a lot of color to my bloodshot eyes.

The Canadian goose is still sitting on her eggs on the floating island on the lake. Soon there will be baby geese hatching.

Plenty of adult geese were walking around eating grass. These guys are very tame and you can almost walk up to pet them (though they would probably bite pretty hard if you tried lol).

The water is nice and blue this early in spring. Once summer hits the lake turns very green with lots of algae in it.

Now for the squirrels... This is one scrappy little fella. Looks like he got into some kind of fight or might have been scarred by a hawk talon.

This squirrel let me get pretty close and acted like part of the branch.

This one ran up off a fence onto an evergreen tree.

It posed long enough for another close-up shot. Squirrels are always an easy and entertaining subject to snap photos of.

That's all for this #wednesdaywalk

Spring is amazing around here.

Love that duck in the first photo. The sun does bring out the color!

If only I could get they shy wood ducks to pose like that.

Fantastic color! Luckily, allergies can't stop us from seeing great pictures.

Yeah I've been eating bee pollen to try and build up tolerance to the allergies around here.

Yay! 🤗

Great walk in the middle of wildlife and animals, it's great!👍

I saw a red tail hawk flying on the walk but I wasn't fast enough to focus on him in the air.

Oh my god I got a cute overload with the squirrels, we bare have here, but I live close to a pond where there are ducks and looks similar to your pictures, all lovely pictures, looks like a lovely walk

Those mallards are pretty common ducks around here. So are the squirrels, some are even tame if you have a treat to give them they will take it out of your hand.

Cute little squirrel ...❤️
Nice sunny weather and ducks and everything in bloom ...☀️🤗

You really enjoyed #Wednesdaywalk
@sketch.and.jam 😊

Gotta go out while the sun is bright otherwise my zoom lens makes too much noise.

You definitely took nice photos and certainly live on a sunny day

Wow.
Your image is amazing.
You always show the best picture.
Thank you for sharing and entertaining us here.

The squirrels are very entertaining especially when they get into territorial battles with eachother.

Yeah.
They look so lovely.

In our region, this spring, squirrels have not yet been seen! But ducks are always welcome)

You have those cool squirrels with tufted ears right?

Yeah, just like that with long tassels on the ears, and all colors) but mostly red ...
