Back to Chickadee Trail with RJAugust 31st, 2018

Today was the last day of the summer that we would share a a full day with RJ. He asked if we could go to Chickadee Trail. The only times I've really been out in nature this summer have been with RJ. These shots are actually from our last two visits.

Our first stop is usually waterside near the bridge. It's never quiet when migration is on.

 
As we crossed the bridge to Chickadee Trail, geese followed the food.

 
Depending on the day, and your luck, you can see  raccoons, deer, wild turkeys, ducks, geese, chipmunks, squirrels, red-wings, blue jays, cardinals and more. You're guaranteed to see something, so it's a popular spot for families. 

Lots of geese and ducks in the water but always lots on the trail too. 

One handful for the ducks, one for the chickadees. He got both at once a time or two.

RJ came up with another idea this time. He put seeds on the peak of his hat instead of holding out his hand.

I doubted that it would work, but it did.

All RJ gets to see are the tail feathers.

Four female wild turkeys joined us as we were about to leave.

 

 The coloring of their feathers is a real mix of hues & shades.

 
We had a good time as always. I do plan to get out more in the fall.

'Til next time,
Bob
