    The Canadian Geese are pairing up around here now. I think this one might want to nest right next the lake here.

    I hope they pick a better spot to lay the eggs as this is a well traveled path. These birds can be a bit dumb when it comes to nest placement.

    The red-wings have almost all staked a claim for territory as well. Perhaps the females are already building nests below in the reeds.

    The males are super bold and brash. You can get really close to them and I got too close with my zoom lens and the face blurred out lol. Once the babies are out this guy will be attacking the lens.

    Robins are getting brighter and should be starting to pair up and build nests too.

    These guys are always making nests. A pair tried to make one on my balcony but I had to shoo them away as they would make piles of poop everywhere.

    I'm seeing the sparrows going crazy too. This one was sitting nicely but right as I clicked the shot it took off.

    Meanwhile in the lake the turtles are stacking themselves. They are like a fractal pattern and need to line up smallest to largest to catch rays of sun.

    The pattern of turtles on this mess of branches is a bit more chaotic. Eventually I hope to see a monster of a snapper sitting out here.

    That's all for now, thanks for looking :-)
