Photo Walks with Mike Hannisian - Saturday, March 23rd, 2013

This week's Saturday Photo Walk was greeted with clear skies. As is not unusual at this time of year, only a few new migrants were around, most notable of these was an Osprey that caught a fish in front of us. The Killdeer numbers have been increasing lately, and this week was no exception. Also present for our photographic opportunity were our old standbys of Canada Goose and Mute Swan with the males (Gander and Cob, respectively) protectively guarding their mates, along with an immaculate adult Ring-billed Gull. However, as was the case two weeks ago, the day was stolen by a mammal. This time it was a Harbor Seal sunning itself on the beach!
