We were in for a most gorgeous day and I could not wait to be "out & about" in it! I put a plan in place to visit two parks today and Ralph Klein Park was my first stop. It has been months since I dropped by here and now that I have become a bird nerd, I was curious as to what I might spot. The views were so pretty having the blue sky filled with those fluffy puffy white clouds that I love so much. What a reflection!
From the parking lot, I took the trail that goes through the apple orchard.
The fews drops of water on the apple is all that is left from yesterday's down pour.

White-Faced Ibis
I don't know what this is and I cannot ID it even after checking my bird book!

There were many ducks of different kinds in the ponds, even a group of ducklings. As I approached their location, every single duck scurried to the other side of the pond and hid in the vegetation. I waited and waited but they stayed where they were. I gave up and took flight myself as I had another destination to visit. It was time to move on down the road!
Gorgeous images and what a reflection and photobomb!
