Our escape to Point Pelee

This morning we dropped Chris off at school and immediately headed for Point Pelee. It was a beautiful spring day, light jacket weather and we enjoyed the quiet park even if there weren't many species of birds around yet. The top picture is a shot of birds resting on the lake as they were scared into flight by a boat dropping fishing nets. There looks to be a variety of ducks and Cormorants in that crowd but you can check by clicking on picture to zoom in. Next shot was a raccoon sleeping in a tree..if you zoom in you can see the tip of his nose on the left lower side of the large tree branch. next was a chilly Robin sitting calmly on the nest as we strolled within a few feet. Many red winged blackbirds were around the park loudly calling out for mates. The last picture was a couple of turtles underwater. We saw lots of them along the boardwalk as well as some REALLY big fish who were likely black carp.
