Happy Easter everyone!
I needed some outside time so I joined forces with the amazing @Halessscott and at the beginning of the walk, we were greeted by this pair of Great Horned Owls!

After we encountered a large patch of Skunk Cabbage https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😍" title="Smiling face with heart-shaped eyes" aria-label="Emoji: Smiling face with heart-shaped eyes">

@Halessscott photographing a Horned Grebe... see that tiny dot on the water? Yeah, that’s a bird!

Then mistakenly startled an angry Killdeer momma laying on some eggs... sorry mom, won’t happen again.

And lastly, we started the walk with an adult pair and ended the walk with a pair of fuzzy little babies! https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🥰" title="Smiling face with 3 hearts" aria-label="Emoji: Smiling face with 3 hearts">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🥰" title="Smiling face with 3 hearts" aria-label="Emoji: Smiling face with 3 hearts">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🥰" title="Smiling face with 3 hearts" aria-label="Emoji: Smiling face with 3 hearts">

Ended with 42 species in total!

Thank you @Halessscott for allowing me to tag along! https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="☺️" title="Smiling face" aria-label="Emoji: Smiling face">
