I thought I would go to the Wetlands this morning before my daughter's wedding this afternoon. I got there a little after it opened and the first thing I saw was this heart shaped red leaf. I thought that was neat given the day.
After chasing a Green Heron's call without sight of it, I heard a loud pecking and finally spotted this Pileated Woodpecker.
I continued on along the path hoping to see something other than the grey squirrels that were out in force today, but I was disappointed to hear voices from across the marsh and getting louder. I decided I had better head back if I wanted to see anything before the people got there and 3 noisy ladies came out right behind me and unfortunately took the same route I had hoped to have alone. I figured my day was done and went back to the parking lot where they followed, got into a car and left. Ok, one last try. I went back to the area I usually see the Green Heron and all at once, there it was! I followed it to a couple locations and it let me get a couple shots that I was thankful for. Hope everyone's day will be a good one
