As we begin Week 2 of lockdown, I find myself more inclined to revisit the times before covid-19 transformed our lives. The photos below were taken on my most recent visit to my parents earlier this month. We always go to the Nisqually National Wildlife Refuge when I see them, as it’s only a short drive on the freeway from their house. This was one of the best trips for bird-watching that we’ve ever had, and that’s even counting the time we saw a nesting bittern.
It were a cold and grey day on the marshes.
Circling hawk.
Stark white tree trunk in the marshes.
Brave little sparrow.
Pintails dabbling for treats in the mud.
The two big barns where migrating swallows nest in late spring. They also nest in the eaves of the Visitor Center.
Pintail gliding over the water.
Face down, ass up, that’s the way I like my ducks.
Views over the marshes.
My parents, walking.
Wigeons dabbling in the marsh grass.
Eagle! I almost missed it. This is the best shot I could get.
Small but fierce song sparrow (I think?).
Canada goose, guardian of the footpath.
Floofy cattail.
Male hooded merganser with his crest up.
Finally, my parents being cute while holding Sockenmonster.
