am canoeing

Post by Killerbunny » Sun Jul 08, 2018 4:24 pm

We were out this am at one of our favourite spots where few others go. Stopped for coffee and this little guy trotted out of the reeds and spent a couple of minutes with us. I have never seen a virginia rail before. This is the same area where the deer and 2 fawns swam across.

Went to the same spot this am. Saw both of the pair and, happy news, 2 fledged youngsters. Only saw the kids because we heard that "feed me now" noise. Clearly the parents are now encouraging them to find their own food too and they flew a short distance between reed beds. Likely they won't be there next week.

OK some more pics from this week same spot.
Funny thing is this is an area very close to a highly boat trafficked spot just not quite as easy to get to. A few cottages and you sometimes see a small boat. The wildlife is very unafraid.

This is one of the youngsters butt view only. You can see it is much darker than parents.

More canoeing this week and a few more pics. Saw a couple of previous acquaintances, this "baby" was in the photo contest as hitching a ride. Funnily it was still trying to get a ride and being told firmly - NO! Also a common gallinule. Wondered about these baby ducks, seems very late for this young perhaps she lost her first brood. Picture fuzzy but you get the idea.
