THURSDAY, APRIL 24, 2008
A fairly quiet day - lunch out with Mom, Dad and Kathy in Peninsula. We walked the Towpath a little ways, finding a giant snapping turtle in one of the locks. He looked like he was the king of the water!
On the way home, we went by the great blue heron rookery, where those huge birds were sitting on their nests. In only a few trees, there are hundreds of nests, with the herons gliding in for a landing. Later, when the babies hatch, it will be quite loud.

There is a pair of wood ducks nesting in the neighborhood, and I caught the male resting on a tree limb.
