Hello Nature lovers!
Just because I haven't posted here lately doesn't mean that we haven't been active. First of all I should tell you that two days ago Carolyn fell and hit her head at the dam walkway. She is fine right now but we had to have her checked out at the hospital overnight first. She of course has a headache but is up and around and clear headed.
Also we went to a birthday party for our young friend Tallen. He is six now and a close personal friend to chuck e cheese.
Back to nature. We got out to springbrook nature center last week on a nice day and saw at least five egrets and many many yellow rumped warblers. We had a nice walk and stopped at the building afterward to see the birds at the feeder. Carolyn has her new Panasonic Dmc Lz7 camera. It has a six power optical zoom but like so many point and shoots these days it has no optical viewfinder. It is basically an indoor camera then because I find it very hard to see the lcd screens in the sun light but nevertheless she has gotten some pretty good pictures with it outdoors.
Later that day was my friend Danielle's son Tallen's birthday party at Chuck e cheese. It was fun and I'm glad we went. Later still we went to the dam and got very close to a tree swallow sunning himself on the walkway. I also got this shot of our male Osprey friend flying close by.
The next day we took out our bikes and rode them to the dam. Unfortunately Carolyn when stopping to fix her binocular strap passed out and hit her head and I had to bring her to the Er where they later admitted her for testing. She spent 28 hours there and was tested for everything and tested out fine but she still has a sore head and a bit of light headedness. She will be alright i'm sure.
Today I went to the dam by myself since it was such a beautiful day and Carolyn needed the rest. It was a lovely peaceful early morning stroll past bluebirds, flycatchers, tree swallows,
goldfinch and many house sparrows. The dam looked especially beautiful so I even took a picture of that. 
This afternoon it is raining but Carolyn is fortunately feeling much better and was out with me to the grocery store.
Thanks for reading and thanks for your comments and emails.

P.s. I just heard from Brooklyn, her boyfriend showed up unexpectedly this afternoon and they are racing off to Duluth to spend a night on the lake. Good for her!
