Happy Place
After getting caught in rain showers and hail while running at UAF yesterday, I went to Creamer’s Field to watch the migratory waterfowl. In the spring, this is my happy place, as I am elated to see the spring migration unfold. I love listening to the cacophonous sounds overhead as the geese, sandhill cranes, swans, etc fly over our house. A couple Trumpeter swans landed while I was there, but they were too far away to photograph. Although the fall migration is by far the more aesthetically pleasing of the migrations, I am not happy to see the fowl depart as it signals the coming of winter.

This Sandhill crane was really strutting his stuff; I only say four of them, and they flew off shortly after I took these photos
They’re Baaack!
Although the official sighting of the first five geese at Creamer’s Field was on April 7, I just made it over today to take some photos. It is so good to see them again!
