19 May 2024 A Spring Day in the Allegheny National Forest

As the years fly past, the beauty of each day in the woods takes a special meaning.

18 May 2024 Allegany State Park... ASP Geobash

We spent the day with a few friends and a lot of nature.

Beaver work zone...

Low-cost osprey nesting platform

It was a prefect woodland spring day for early wildflowers.

Finding ammo cans and other geocaches in the woods is a fun, enduring activity, but being in the outdoors is the true moment of joy.

One last view of a beautiful park on a perfect spring day.

12 May 2024 Rose-breasted Grosbeak

One Rose-breasted grosbeak in the lawn is a treat.

Two are a gift.

10 May 2024 Visiting Paddock River Preserve

I don't often visit this park. A bluebird was waiting to greet me.

6 May 2024 Later Walk at Orchard Hills

I left work later and arrived at Orchard Hills for late visit. I noticed there might be a bird nest in the entrance way.

The nest was made of straw and likely made by one of the park's species of sprarrows.

The late light cast a glow on the trees and fields.

Once I reached the small pond I stayed through sunset hoping for a heron and watching the swallows.
