Beautiful day today. Molly and I went to the zoo for her photography assignment. She took pictures of a little stuffed monkey in a variety of settings. Looking through an aquarium at turtles, looking at fish, almost getting nipped by a llama, etc…. It was a lot of fun and made me think that I should do something similar.

With the time change this weekend it now gets dark about 8:00 PM. Lise and I had an hour or two so we ran out to a local lake and got two new species, American wigeon and lesser scaup. Then we ran over to another park and got woodcock doing their courtship flights. We were the first to report woodcock for the county. We tried to call in barred owl and Eastern screech owl with no luck.
Eighty-nine species so far. Spring is coming and new things popping in all the time. Lots of common things we should start getting soon.
