A New Wetland, Cedar Waxwings, Song Sparows, Ducks Geese, Chickadees and Butterflies of the Vermilon River. A Post to SKF.

North End New Wetland.

As you can see from the sky in photo one, we've had bright weather, although the temperature took a sudden nose dive  to about 15 degrees C during the day and around 5 degrees C at night. The first two photos are scenes of the new wetland on the west side of the river, which I found an easy way into. On the right in photo one  is a white spot. That's a gull so you have some idea of the size of the wetland.

I included the toadflax again because they're so bright. I ran into a flock of Cedar waxwings and these are a few of the shots. They're so playful with one another, and sometimes I think they pose for the camera. The Song Sparrow is of course a favourite of mine because of their perpetual singing. The Chickadee was a lucky shot as they're hard to catch because of the tree canopy. The Geese are only practising I hope, as the ducks seem content to stay. The butterflies are almost like little pieces of sun themselves. A Post to SWF @ http://skyley.blogspot.com/

 Gosh if you click on the photos it turns into a slide show. Try it.
