And how cheerful he/she looks! Great capture, Casey!

It's a jungle out there. This little guy was hiding in the hostas.

Hiding for sure, Ron!

Jodi-

Wow, great pics!

Casey, I love the robin pic!

I love your daffodils, bigack! Daffodils and grape hyacinths are my very favourite spring flowers. Don't care for tulips....

Nicole, you really need to give us more info when posting photos! Where was that gorgeous photo taken?

Jodi .....DH & I went to the Colorado Monte Vista, crane festival....there was an alligator farm nearby too.....with rattle snakes, peacocks, ducks and such that I've been posting. This pond should have been full of sandhill cranes overnighting. They spend the night in the water so foxes and coyotes have trouble getting to them. During the day, they fly across the street to farmers fields....where the fields have been "seeded" just for the cranes. :0) This year the cranes had NOT arrived by the thousands as in past years.....so we were a little early. :0) It's a migration path.

Nicole, thanks for the filling us in on the photo. What a drag you missed the majority of the cranes. Would love to go to the crane festival some year. Wouldn't even mind seeing the alligator farm. Love animals of all types. well, except mosquitoes and ticks. :-)

The elementary school at the end of our street "seeded" their playground just for the flocks of Canada Geese that fly through here. :-) It's an awesome site though to see bunches of geese populating the school's field and spilling out onto the sidewalk and street in the middle of a residential area. Some of the males stand in the middle of the street with their lady and try to stop cars from passing by holding out their wings. I don't know of any that have been hit, it's a street feeding three cul-de-sacs so not much traffic. But I have gotten out of my car to move the geese on so others could pass. We have the same problem with Egyptian Geese.

Jodi...Canadian geese are in "all" our parks here. ;0( and on the golf courses.......they have become a problem. As have snow geese in Bosque Del Apache in New Mexico.

We were told by a wild life authority in New Mexico they are going to schedule a mass killing to rid themselves of snow geese, since they're not native.

I hope he eats the slugs, Ron. They are a plague to my hostas and I often wonder how other people grow them so successfully.

I've posted this one before. Happy Easter everyone!

Nicole, I can certainly see how the geese can become a problem. I have to wonder if they bother the kids when it's recess time. This is the first time in the 32 years we've lived in our home that I recall ever seeing Canada Geese populate the school ground. They appeared the day after the entire field/lawn had been reseeded about 2-3 months ago and have not left. The lawn still looks fine but I'm surprised there is even a single blade of new grass coming up.
